Friday Genius Ten
Okay, I meant to put one of these up last week, but I didn’t. Thankfully, this is a particularly good mix, which will hopefully make up for the fact that I’ve been really derelict in posting these.
Original Song: “Soon” — My Bloody Valentine
- “Teen Age Riot” — Sonic Youth
- “Summer Babe [Winter Version]” — Pavement
- “River Euphrates” — Pixies
- “Damaged Goods” — Gang of Four
- “Transmission” — Joy Division
- “Teen Angst” — M83
- “KC Accidental” — Broken Social Scene
- “Dreams Never End” — New Order
- “A Spoonful Weighs a Ton” — The Flaming Lips
- “Thursday” – Asobi Seksu
And here, for your enjoyment, are a few of those new fangled “music videos” (for what it’s worth, I think “Damaged Goods” is the best song on this mix):
Yesterday was the Boss’s 60th birthday and we put up a mopey Joy Division playlist? Why do you hate America, Jamelle?
Great mix, though. “Thursday” is such an awesome song.Report
In my defense, Charlottesville is rainy and gloomy today. The mix fits the town’s mood pretty well.Report
“Transmission” kicks much ass any day any place. Finish that list off with “Leave Them All Behind” by Ride (8 minute version thank you very much) and “Son of Mustang Ford” by Swervedriver and you’ve got a setlist from my college radio show.Report
