Mix & Match Vol. 4- submissions from the Prof.

You can't go home again.
My hometown was recently in the news again. A large Crystal Meth ring was busted for smuggling their product in Extreme Tickle-Me Elmo dolls, so I guess I know what I'm getting for Xmas. Greeley, Colorado might be familiar to those of you who read Fast Food Nation as having one of the nation's largest feedlots, slaughterhouses, and meat-packing plants. They burn the blood and remains on Thursday, every other day it just smells like money.

Grizzly Bear - Colorado
This is a fairly brand new song, but it sends me swirling back to that summer and autumn that I haunted the Poudre Canyon. The Milky Way, Mountain Lions, burnt forest, and weeks on end living inside of the clouds. And then coming back down the mountain to Greeley and those months that I asked myself "What now?".

Melvin Van Peebles - Come On Feet
Sweet Sweetback says run goddammit. The next Autumn I moved to Chicago. Must have run all day.

Sly and the Family Stone - Runnin' Away
Finally you run far enough and you can see clearly. You can't go home again, but you're gonna have to sooner or later. Hopefully before then you've gotten new shoes and paid the dues. Remember, it's a longer trip back home.

Mix and Match vol 4 - submissions from the captain

sorry for the slowness on the file uploads, kids. my compy has been having issues. hopefully tis sorted now. and without further adieu.

jawbreaker - tour song
any person that has been in a band, toured with a band, followed a band, or in some way shape or form done any kind of touring can identify here. this is way before blake schwarzenbach went on his emo kick and he was still kicking ass.

the mountain goats - going to georgia
john darnielle is the mountain goats. no matter what anyone else tries to tell you, you must remember this. john darnielle is the mountain goats. sweet jesus i have a shit ton of early mountain goats stuff, and while it's definitely a love it or hate it kind of vibe, the rawness of his oozing passion just gets me. this song is about getting pissed off and driving to kill someone, then getting to the house and....

brian spahr - asheville
brian did a stint in my hometown, when he wrote this song. i don't really know what happened to him, but i still have his 3 song EP and this is probably the best song on it.

the bartlebees - willst du mit mir gehen?
it's the beautiful poppiness of the bartlebees coupled with german! how fun! the translation of the title is "do you want to go with me?"

Mix and Match vol. 4 submissions from Joe

On the road again...

Fats Domino - Walking to New Orleans
This song is about a guy walking home after his girl spends all his money, as only Fats Domino can sing it. Rough times.

Dropkick Murphys - The Wild Rover
Drinking song about a travelin' prodigal son who is about to repent. Listen for the tin whistle during the chorus, the barroom in the background adds a nice touch too.

Jackie Greene - Gone Wanderin'
Another tale of heartbreak about a rambling man who just can't seem to stop wandering.

Crown City Rockers - Weekend Soul
Funky, Roots-esque hip-hop from a group that has members hailing from the Berklee School of Music in Boston. Stream of conscious/social commentary from the emcee while he's strolling through his neighborhood. Sit back, relax, and let the beat flow..
