Mixed Up: The LCD Funster, Parts 2 & 3
Our guests begin arriving in just over an hour, and at last the mix trilogy is complete. (Background: see my first LCD Funster post).
Should be a fun time tonight. We threw a party for the same crowd last year, and my drunk ass spent all evening stumbling up and down the stairs to the turntable every three or four minutes to throw on another song. And while I’m certain to mix it up a bit, take requests, and veer spontaneously away from the regularly scheduled program, these mixes should allow the DJ some breathing room so’s I can actually do some socializin’.
Without further adieux, discs two and three:
Disc Two
01 Franz Ferdinand – Take Me Out
02 Victor – Go On Do It
03 Justin Timberlake – Rock Yr Body
04 Moonbabies – Fieldtrip USA
05 Kiss – Detroit Rock City
06 Hall & Oates – Private Eyes
07 Doobie Bros – Listen to the Music
08 Gin Blossoms – Hey Jealousy
09 DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince – Summertime
10 Tom Petty – American Girl
11 Psychedelic Furs – Pretty in Pink
12 Hi-Tension – British Hustle
13 Foreigner – Feels Like the First Time
14 Morphine – Buena
15 Ice Cube – Wicked
16 Talking Heads – Life During Wartime
17 Fleetwood Mac – Dreams
18 Astrud Gilberto – Take Me to Aruanda
19 Rezillos – Somebody’s Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight
20 Bobby Brown – On Our Own
Disc Three
01 DJ Shadow – Organ Donor (Extended Overhaul)
02 Bell Biv Devoe – Do Me
03 Guns n’ Roses – You Could be Mine
04 TV on the Radio – Staring at the Sun
05 Night Ranger – Sister Christian
06 Temptations – Psychedelic Shack
07 Frankie Valli – Can’t Take My Eyes Off You
08 Rolling Stones – Brown Sugar
09 Information Society – What’s On Your Mind (Pure Energy)
10 Run DMC – It’s Tricky
11 The Cars – Hello Again
12 Madonna – Open Your Heart
13 Tommy James & the Shondells – Crystal Blue Persuasion
14 Sly & the Family Stone – Thank You Falletinme Be Mice Elf Agin
15 Jane’s Addiction – Been Caught Stealing
16 Rocket From the Crypt – Middle
17 Devo – Whip It
18 Def Leppard – Pour Some Sugar on Me
19 Thompson Twins – Hold Me Now
20 The Big Bopper – Big Bopper’s Wedding
21 Digital Underground – Humpty Dance
I had in mind several ideas for the remainder of this post: jotting a brief note about each track, ruminating over the typical acoustic idiosyncrasies of my mixes (which the noiseboy always used ta give me shit about), describing some of the minor headaches that arose in putting these discs together, re-invoking my disclaimer regarding their more mainstream content, or free-associating on seventies funk, eighties glam metal, or nineties “alternative.”
Instead, I’m just gonna sign off.
Until next time.
