COS EVERYBODY HATES A TOURIST

: "vinegar + salt." hooverphonic. (via a certain someone's Ron + Hermoine Soundtrack of Wub...

here's a semi-important bit from the trip last weekend; the track listing for the comp tape i made:

1. "Disorder" Joy Division (live, from Les Bains Douches 18 December 1979).

must set the appropriate frantic pace, after all. ^^

2. "Doggy Doggy Dog." The Seatbelts. (the remix that appears on disc 2 of the special box set)

oooh, electro-surf. ^^

3. "Conspiracy A-Go-Go (live)." Bis.

reminds me of what a fun live band they are. i hope they come back soon. ;.;

4. "I Feel Loved" Depeche Mode (Danny Tenaglia mix).

'sfunny, cos i normally am not very fond at all of DM. but i like this mix a lot. heh.

5. "Girls" Beastie Boys.

'tis true; a certain Ron ST has apparently infected me greatly. much like the Hermione soundtrack before it.

6. "Common People." Pulp.

i particularly love how it starts out so diminutively and then grows by leaps and bounds into this frenetic monster that leaves you pogoing madly and wishing you dressed half as well as Jarvis. there's also the fact that this song greatly reminds me of someone, but i won't go into that here...suffice to say, it is excellent driving music. even if Spaz said he thought it sounded a bit like something out of the Rocky Horror Picture Show (which, actually, i can see. O.O;;;)...XD

7. "Crystal (porno club mix)." Bernard Sumner + Corbin Dalek.

only danger in this is that you may wish to dance while you really ought to be driving...or punch people, at the very least...

8. "Mad Dog." Elastica.

one of the few songs i actually liked off the new(er) album (there were others, but mostly were done on the EP released just prior and i mostly liked the EP versions better than the album versions...). the bassline is great and actually makes me miss Annie less. ;.;

9. "High Noon." DJ Shadow.

another driving, undeniable-sense-of-urgency sort of song. though for some reason, i feel like it works better at night than actually at noon...

10. "Age of Consent." New Order.

what i REALLY wanted was the live version from the Glastonbury 1987 disc, but i seem to have misplaced it and so couldn't use it. ;.; but it sounds so nice and angry...and again, great driving beat. and growliness! you can't beat growliness in certain voices. ^^

11. "love will freak us." Missy Elliott vs. Joy Division (done by dsico).

always happy to aid in the breakage of someone else's head, i had to put this on. a bit of a piss-taking moment, if you will. surprised the hell out of Spaz when it first came on. XD there wasn't enough space at the end of this side of the tape for it all to fit, unfortunately, but most of it's on there. a good 4/5 or so.

12. main menu music---Macross VFX 2.

i wish this were expanded upon. good ideas, but it's way too short. ;.;

13. "The Number Song." DJ Shadow.

someone needs to recut the pinball short from Sesame Street that went along with their number song to this one...XD

14. "A2G." Blackalicious.

i think i wanna put together some weird 'educational' compilation, now that i think about it. this and Kompressor's "Brush Your Teeth." XXXXXXXD

15. "Oh!" Sleater-Kinney.

this song just kills me. god, i love them. ^^

16. "When I Grow Up." Garbage.

poptastic, truly. Spaz specially requested it. it fit well here. thus, here it was. and perhaps, when i grow up, i will be stable... c'mon, shalala, you know you want to...

17. "Blazin' Beat." MOVE.

yes, i am sick. we knew this already. XD but wait till you see what i followed it with... >D

18. "Butterfly (Pikachu mix)." smile DK.

this is all Juri's fault. well, and maybe Puu's as well. i think this song could have been vastly improved had the entire main vocal been yanked when all the Pokemon stuff got added. i really hate this chick's voice. ^^;;;

19. "Out of Control." The Chemical Brothers.

there's apparently a Sasha mix of this that Spaz has got, too, but i haven't heard it. not that it's entirely surprising. i like this a lot, though, and again...good driving music. unless, of course, you take it too literally. must keep those evil skidding j-turn urges in check, ne? ^^

20. "Stormtrooper in Drag." St. Etienne.

this song might be considered a trope of mine lately, as i seem to keep putting it on everything. really must stop. but i like it a lot. and it does work well as a driving song...

21. "Stray Cat Blues." Bis.

seemed good to end with. so i did. XD i've already written about how i feel about this cover. so there. XD
