Shadoobie. This is a FTOTZ mix I made for mandalaya, from Rotterdam. I let her know that she could be my proxy on July 6th and attend the Metropolis Festival at Zuiderpark and see DeVotchKa and Murder By Death for me. (see Mix Contest XXI entry). I tried to stick with an all 1899 feel, but the occasional electric guitar and existential trip to the 1970’s sneaked in. This is another soundtrack for another film in my head. It has a loose narrative that I’m a teenager in 1899 and Spring Break is approaching. Please to enjoy. Skadoosh.

1 She & Him : Magic Trick

2 Kiss : Getaway
Still loving this song. ACE! I finally read the lyrics to this song. “Got to get away, don’t want to stay, leavin’ tomorrow by subway” (not “some way” like I had thought). Pity.

3 The Denver Gentlemen : Holiday
I’m hoping someone at this bar can tell me where to find some entertainment. If Simon Cowell found this song, “A bit cabaret” he’d be right. “Oh my darlin’, my pretty little darlin’, I wanna dance with you…”

4 Kristin Hersh : Fly Around My Blue Eyed Girl
“Sweet” doesn’t adequately describe this young woman. OK, four tracks in, and finally something sounds like it could be from a porch in 1899 rural America.

5 Shearwater : Red Sea, Black Sea
Hell and his posse ride into town. Maybe I’ll see you later, sweetie. How many songs call pull of being brutal and raw with banjo, xylophone, piano, tambourine and a big bass drum, among other instruments? Amazing.

7 Thee Headcoat Sect : Cowboys Are Square
Crossed paths with an unruly bunch. One of three versions of this song, that I’m aware of. Calme-se, Billy Childish. Music equivalent of Bit-O-Honey. You either like it or you don’t and you have to work with it a little while.

14 Pride Tiger : The Lucky Ones
The town is having a dance. Phil Lynott gave this group a wet willie during a séance and this is the result. Shiny. If this song was a pill, it would induce the feeling and anticipation of the night of your high school graduation party. Some rare cases have shown symptoms of hot dog fingers and pork swords.

Love-struck youth from two different sides of the tracks. Leave them needles alone, folks. The best way to describe this song is pleather. The Stones are not 100% honky tonk, but it still has a great feel to it.

17 Blood Feathers : Sea Legs
Standing in the port town, wondering which way the wind will take me. Whistle solos?! Rock! I discovered this track stowed away on a compilation I purchased a concert I didn’t enjoy much. Finding it was like finding a new, good Jelly Belly flavor. Wa hoo!
