LOL - "The Perfect Mix?"

[Biomechanoid]

I was looking for something different to listen to at work today, and so I blew the dust off of a box of cassettes at home and pulled out three: Slash's Snakepit - "It's Five O'Clock Somewhere"; Warrant - "Dog Eat Dog"; and the last "mixed" tape I ever put together. I can't remember what purpose I made it for, because usually when I made custom tapes it was either a gift for someone or had some theme to it. Neither case applies to this example.

Here's the song list:

side A

Filter - Trip Like I Do
Canned Heat - Going Up The Country (live at Woodstock)
The Presidents Of The United States Of America - Kitty
Soundgarden - 4th Of July
The Cranberries - 21
Aerosmith - Fever
Bush - Mouth
Eric Clapton - Malted Milk
Alice In Chains - I Stay Away
Guns N Roses - You Ain't The First
Elvis Presley - Hound Dog
Lynrd Skynrd - Tuesday's Gone
Golden Earring? - Slow Ride
The Reverend Horton Heat - Martini Time

Wait, it gets better... [img]eek.gif[/img]

side B

The Benedictine Monks Of Santo Demingo De Silos - Hosanna Filio David
followed immediately by...
Kirk Hammet/sometechnorapdweeb - Satan
Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride
Planet Wenck And The Satellites - Little Green Men
AC/DC - For Those About To Rock...
Slash's Snakepit - Doin' FIne
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Janice Joplin - Mercedes Benz
Cracker - Lonesome Johnny Blues
Tom Petty - A Higher Place
Robert Johnson - They're Red Hot
L7 - Off The Wagon
Guns N Roses - Down On The Farm
Aerosmith - Big Ten Inch Record
unknown - Beer Is Good For You
"Weird" Al Yankovich - One More Minute

There's a lot of obscurity there, to say the least, but all of these songs are from albums/tapes/cds I'm pretty sure I have. WTF does it mean? There does seem to be a fair amount of boozing moozic on there, so I may have intended for it to be a drinking collection...or perhaps I was drunk when I made it...I dunno. Either way, I'd love to hear these but I can't. Apparently this relic of a radio I use at work has lost the capacity to play tapes in its old age, so I'll have to wait until I leave here and play this in the car on the way home. In the meantime, I have Creed's "Human Clay" and Velvet Revolver's "Contraband" on cd...meh. I've heard them too much lately. Looks like I'll be falling asleep to the classical station this afternoon... [img]rolleyes.gif[/img]

That is definately a mix if I ever saw one!

I remember doing those, until I got a minidisk player where I can put 5 hours of music on it and hit "shuffle"

that IS an odd collection...
I just though today, that I'd re-write Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild", and make the lyrics Star Wars related...
