Episode 26: “Rap, metal, rap, metal… Whitney Houston”
I’m talking to Joey the Jerk and Seth Tower Hurd this week hopefully… and I have a bunch of other guests on queue. But a new episode needs to drop now! And since it has been established that I like music, here’s another mixtape style episode along the lines of Episode 20.
Here are the tracks you’ll hear:
-“Virtuoso” by Black Violin. One of my new favorite bands. Classical meets hip hop meets you-name-it.
-The Farsighted Theme aka “As You Were” by Rockie Garibay of Fathom Blue (Episode 12).
-“Jean Jacket” by The Sixties. Local Philly area band. Great live show. Lots of fun.
-“Burned Out on Bono” by Näive Sense. Lead singer, Natalie, was on Episode 7 and will return again soon. Trans* punk that’ll tear your face off.
-“Candy” by Bikini Kill. This is a really old one that’s on their new re-release. Love Kathleen Hanna and her badassery.
-“MacBook of Raps” by Joey the Jerk featuring Soup the Chemist. Off of Joey’s new album which is dope front to back. Great hearing Soup on here too.
-“Dark Knight Rises (Ess Be Remix)” by Dre Murray. When Plastic, aka Josh of Illect Recordings, tells me to pay attention to an artist, I do. And here’s an example of why.
-“Bodhitsatvva” by Brian Setzer Orchestra. Cover of Steely Dan. Listen to the intro to find out why.
-“Psalm 151” by Bobby Sullivan. Sullivan was a founding member of Soul Side and played with many DC hardcore bands.
-“Kings” by Tribe Society. Saw these guys plays at Milkboy recently. Original, fresh, and such a great time.
-“Sky Blue Sky” by Avi Wisnia. Another local Philly artist because we have rad musicians here and Philly has to rep Philly.
-“Belly Down” by Fathom Blue (Episode 12). This track was recently featured on The Lineup Volume II: Electric Summer, a great comp from the dudes over at Bad Christian. Little known fact, this remix happened because of a contest on my old website.
-“Double” by Aunt Bettys. This one is on here because I listen to this album often. I like Michael Knott, but I love this album… and I love this song.
-“Show N Tell” by Sareem Poems featuring DJ PA. We’ve highlighted Sareem’s song before… and we’ll do it again. His stuff is always dope.
-“Infinite Lives” by Mega Ran featuring D&D Sluggers. A track off of RNDM, Ran’s newest joint. My kids walking around singing this one.
-“Barrytown” by Ben Folds Five. Another Steely Dan cover for the homie, Tom. One of my favorite artists of all-time, albeit I haven’t listened to him in awhile… I’m thinking that’s going to change.
-Hidden track from Sia’s Some People Have Real Problems, I think it’s called “Buttons”. It’s a fun tune.
-“Yar’s Revenge” by Rivers For Eli. This is a band from my old home area of North Jersey and features friends from when I was a young buck. They’ve been making music for a couple of decades now.
-“Dr. Wu” by Minutemen. The third and final Steely Dan cover on this mix.
-“I’ll Wait” by Luke Eccles of Awaking Mercury and The Prids. This was a contest entry on my old website. The Prids did this instrumental track, Luke laid down some vocals.
-“We Are the Only Ones” by Little Lords (aka Sigs of Fathom Blue). This is the way I like Sigs most… raw, angsty, and honest.
-“Oh Yeah” by Pigeon John. PJ is one of my all time faves. Here’s a new-ish one. I love it.
-“Goodnight” by Play Date (Episode 22)
-“Finding Hope” by Northern Faces. I saw them at Milkboy the other week and they slayed. The Sixties and Tribe Society (both are also on this mix) opened the show… they killed it too.
Thanks for the feature homies. Good group of tunes.
