All the songs on this mixtape were introduced to me by one very good friend of mine. We'll call him G, which keeps him mysterious. I went looking for grasshoppers with G this summer.
I like tracks. They make me float.
Mix title from the song by The Books.

| 2 | The Books : Don't Even Sing About It |

I got into a total trance six days ago, when I saw them live and they played this song. To me it is pure gold. Man, I felt so happy when they were playing it. Totally content and peaceful.

I laughed out loud when I first heard this. The Novas...They don't have albums, just this song on a couple of compilations. (e.g. Wrestling Rocks: Anthems of the Ring) Do the Crusher you Turkey Necks! SHOW MORE

| 6 | Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band : Ella Guru |

Hi, Ella Guru. Well, what's there to say about Captain Beefheart? A lot probably, but I'm sure I don't have to repeat it. I love the whole Trout Mask Replica album.

| 7 | Can : Oh Yeah |
|
Well there you go. He's the one who introduced me to CAN. Tago Mago is a masterpiece. Oh Yeah is a masterpiece. The first verse is played backwards, the third verse is in japanese. What is in the middle is this: As your silver hair save that, For you got to better not there. I see your own cheeks, saves that, It’s a time you’re my lasting sign. They have got to sue the passing As you do too everyday. Still you point at them and then Sometimes I’m the slave. SHOW MORE

I had forgotten about Deerhoof before he sent me this. Which is an awesome song. The -how should I describe it- beep sounds keep the song going.

| 10 | Smog : River Guard |
|
I like Smog a lot. In this song, he takes you on a journey through his desires. The guard asks himself why he's not enjoying his freedom when he sees the prisoners having fun in the river. He feels like he's a prisoner himself, as if being free is his prison. This track gives me chills.

| 11 | Laurie Anderson : O Superman (For Massenet) |
|
Hurray, vocoder sounds! Laurie Anderson performed this song together with David Bowie once in a faraway past. Does that mean anything? So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. In your automatic arms. Your electronic arms. In your arms. So hold me, Mom, in your long arms. Your petrochemical arms. Your military arms. In your electronic arms. SHOW MORE

I love Chet Bakers voice. It wraps around you like warm fuzzy feathers. This is, for now, my favourite 'My Funny Valentine'.

Mixtape Potpourri I: Second Place
I never saw 'Breakfast on Pluto', but is sounds oddly interesting...
It was kind of hard to fit Boney M in somewhere in this mix, but I'm glad it worked out. Thanks for the comments.

lover of the russian queen........excellent!
I also like the beefheart, sonic youth and the buffalo springfield.
Pointless bit of trivia, I once stayed in the hotel in Amsterdam that Chet Baker died in. Our room was right across from the actual room he fell from.

That Buffalo Springfield song was a classic before I saw Breakfast on Pluto, but after I saw it every time I hear it I imagine Cillian Murphy in a catsuit and a yellow bra spraying people with Chanel 5 and making them pass out.
