This journey started with a three-hour drive for work on Friday. Forty-five minutes into the drive the idea occurs to make a mix contest 5 mix based on my Juke III mix. After finishing the long delivery, starting an Excel chart and two very large flow charts later, here is the final product: a string of artists with a song title similar (but ARE NOT COVER SONGS) to the next and previous artist.
If you would like to see how I spent my weekend, here you go

The pdf shows a string that was sadly (it was devistatingly sad) broken by the fact that Peter Gabriel's song is called "IN Your Eyes" and not "Your Eyes." I had to find a new connection. I found that Tears for Fears has a song called "Secret World" and also that Siouxsie also has a song called "Falling Down". I had scanned the chart when I thought I was finished.
There was a slight dilema of choosing which direction to go with the mix. Plus you can begin with any song you want and continue from there. The posted contest mix is the strongest over-all mix, but the Bizarro version of this mix has its share of highlights which you can read about in the descriptions.
Here go.

Track 9 from Little Creatures

|
Track Description:
Which is apples oranges with Ozzy's "Road to Nowhere", but is an amazing song in its own right. A very cool launch for this mix. Who doesn't sing the "Yeah!" parts along with Byrne? C'mon. Talking Heads is great escapism music. SHOW LESS

Track 4 from No More Tears
Length: 00:05:45 Year: 2002 |

|
Track Description:
Which is thematically similar to U2's "Desire", in that Bono and Ozzy both want more street cred. This is more like a Zakk Wylde song fronted by Ozzy. Great, driven song. SHOW LESS

| 3 | U2 : Numb |

Which will never be heralded like Portishead's "Numb". This was the first time The Edge sang, yes? [...] SHOW MORE

Track 3 from Zooropa
Length: 00:04:20 Year: 1993 |

Track Description:
Which will never be heralded like Portishead's "Numb". This was the first time The Edge sang, yes? A video with Edge on a chair being wrapped up in twine. Riveting. SHOW LESS

Which is a so blasted slap-your-mama good, just like Yaz's "Only You". Amazing video too (take note U2). This is one of those bands that I listen to seasonally, as not to spoil myself too much. SHOW LESS

Track 5 from Upstairs at Eric's
Length: 00:04:23 Year: 1982 |
|
|
Track Description:
Which has singing, unlike Handsome Boy Modeling School's instrumental "Midnight". Yaz has the misfortune of being linked to an ex-girfriend. She did introduce me to Upstairs at Eric's, so it wasn't a complete waste, eh? This is a fun, synth infused lil' chunk of "Eighties crap". That isn't my label, man. SHOW LESS
|
|
| 6 | Handsome Boy Modeling School : A Day In The Life (feat. RZA, The Mars Volta & AG) / Good Hygiene (feat. Tim Meadows) |
|
Which might have shocked the beard off of Ringo in the Sixties, unlike The Beatles "A Day In the Life".SHOW MORE |
|
|
Track 13 from White People
Length: 00:05:36 Year: 2004 |
|
|
Track Description:
Which might have shocked the beard off of Ringo in the Sixties, unlike The Beatles "A Day In the Life". Holy Line-Up, Fat Gram! I'd give a shout-out to RZA if I wasn't so white. Tim Meadows "Good Hygiene" fits perfectly as an intermission of sorts. "You don't fart in front of a lady. I learned that from Chest." Now two photocopied men would clink beer bottles together and yell, "Brilliant!" SHOW LESS

Track 0 from Past Masters, Volume Two
Length: 00:03:00 Year: 1988 |
|
|
Track Description:
Which is much shorter to, but still in good company with, Tones on Tail's "Rain". This and track thirteen were the tent posts for this mix. I built the mix with these two tracks in mind (and heart). Much love to DonnaWK for this song. The backward masking encourages me to "Go to primary and say your prayers." What does it tell you? SHOW LESS

Track 3 from Everything! (Disc 1)
Length: 00:03:08 Year: 1998 |
|
|
Track Description:
Which is a fun song to hear just like Built to Spill's "Happiness". If I had my druthers and a better link, I'd use Lisa Germano's "Happiness" but I digress. This is still a great, swinging number. I'd like to see this performed on The Muppet Show. It's THAT good. SHOW LESS

Track 5 from Trust

Track Description:
Which is easier on my ears and growing on me much more than David Bowie's "Tonight". I know of Low because my wife knows of Low. She has had the good forturne of seeing them live. I really like some of their Christmas songs. This song is growing on me. Good stuff. SHOW LESS

Track 6 from Aladdin Sane
Length: 00:05:09 Year: 1973 |
|
|
Track Description:
Which is a killer track like that of Supergrass' "Time". Rozz William's cover of this is what first turned me onto this mishapen gem from Bowie. It is creeping into my Bowie Top-10, if it isn't there already. Such bliss. I'll address that some of these song titles are fairly common and only one word. Yes, there were a lot of songs by this name, but some are not that great. I am sad that this mix did not string to Tom Waits. His "Time" is a classic, too. SHOW LESS

Which puts a very large smile on my face faster, but not any less effectively than the keyboards in Peter [...] SHOW MORE

Track 1 from Supergrass Is 10: The Best of 1994-2004
Length: 00:04:03 Year: 2004 |
|
|
Track Description:
Which puts a very large smile on my face faster, but not any less effectively than the keyboards in Peter Gabriel's "Kiss of Life". This was a new song on Supergrass' Best of. I LOVE this song. Supergrass is pretty much an any time band, with me, as well. Great, upbeat, get-me-to-my-car-fast music. SHOW LESS

Track Description:
Which is a step down in momentum in the mix, but at least we're not listening to Tears For Fears "Secret World". Peter Gabriel is another seasonal favorite. I really like this song, and it is from such a strong album. Great work. SHOW LESS

Track 2 from Raoul and the Kings of Spain
Length: 00:04:55 Year: 1995 |

Track Description:
Which is a really good song, but not compared to Siouxsie and the Banshees' "Falling Down". But I'm quite biased. I have only met one person that knows of this album. This song is another step down in momentum, but we don't end here. SHOW LESS

Which is also an amazing song like Talking Heads' "Heaven". What an awesome song from the Eighties. Ties right in to VH1's recent rehash of that decade. The Furs have so many great songs. SHOW LESS
