Cover Songs!



I apologize for the delay in posting, sometimes a much needed break is forced upon you.

Onwards to what I alluded to...Cover songs, people either love them or hate them. I happen to love them when they're done well. Either as true to the original, or a wild re-interpretation. I've always got a folder to dump any cover song I find and like into there for projects like this. I've finally emptied most of this folder into the forthcoming eight mixes. I previously posted the 14 below from this folder so this project here isn't as robust as my remix series, yet still has plenty to digest over the coming days and weeks.

Another project coming

The delay in posting is due to multiple things:

1) Family road trip
2) Internet outage for 24 hours
3) Working on another significant themed project

I hope to have something new up by the end of this week.  Until then, enjoy revisiting some of the 400+ mixes I've already posted.

Thanks,
Mooz

434 Krautrock mix 1



It was probably the late 90's when I first discovered Krautrock/Kosmische/Motorik music and really dove in deep.  Nurse With Wound's list was of course the treasure trove of name dropping to the Nth degree.  I think it was the reissue of Sand's Ultrasonic Seraphim that really drew me in.   Then the big three blew me away, Faust Can, & Neu!  I made this two CD mix probably early 2000s.  For fans of the genre there is nothing unexpected here.  For the uninitiated this is a good overview with some new tracks mixed in.

00:00  Agitation Free - Rucksturz
02:06  Amon Duul II - Wolf City
05:21  Brainticket - Black Sand
09:21  Hawklords - Time Of
13:17  Can - Mushroom
17:14  Electric Sandwich - China
25:18  Stelvio Cipriani - Realta n 5
27:16  Nurse With Wound and Aranos - Sunset Belly Mother
31:27  Faust - So Far
35:20  Neu! - Super
38:22  Sand - On the Corner
42:45  Download - Hallo Gallo (Neu!)
50:30  Martijn De Kleer - What Happened To
54:48  Faust - The Sad Skinhead
57:18  Cosmic Jokers - Galactic Joke (C)
65:47  Chrome - Third From The Sun

433 First of all, this too shall pass




This is a fan made soundtrack for a show that doesn't have an official soundtrack released.  I can make this fun by not mentioning the title to the show, though I doubt its hard to figure out.  Bonus if you can pick out the track in this list that was only mentioned, not played on the show.  It's not the greatest show ever, but has some tremendously funny parts and characters.  I usually only watch this one after a few (several) beers.  Still, damn near every episode has incredible music chosen and really accentuates the specific scenes.  I've seen other fan made playlists that either cover every track from the show, or highlight some of the songs I'm not as interested in.   This is the kind of show and soundtrack that reminds me that as much as I think I know about bands and music, there is always a whole world to explore.

00:00  Japanther - First of All
02:11  Les Savy Fav - What Would Wolves Do

35:48  Toro Y Moi - Blessa
38:31  Dan Deacon - True Thrush
43:10  Purity Ring - Fineshrine
46:37  Joel Plaskett Emergency - Fashionable People
50:43  Harmonium - Un Musicien Parmi Tant D Autres
