The Last Mixed CD I Made

Note: I'll be removing the links below in a couple of days, for "moral" reasons revolving around musicians' rights and all that other copyright stuff. Like as if removing them now will help at all, but I guess I have to do something.

Sorry I neglected to mention this when originally I posted it, I was a little out of it.

It was about a week ago. The one before that was in December. I named myself Corstar The Compiler for these music compiling times. I guess it's my mixed-tape alter ego.

When you click on a song below, your default music player should open it and then the artist's name will be displayed for you.

My tastes are all over the place, but if my computer could manage the software, I could rearrange and then blend these songs seamlessly, maybe. It would be fun trying.

About six of the artists are Canadian, two of the songs are by Saul Williams (not Canadian), and "why'd ya do it" is painfully profane, whiskey-soaked, smoked dry, and as swaggering as Elizabeth Taylor in Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf, for anyone who may care.

the beat goes on - Saul Williams
devil's eyes - Buck 65
galang - M.I.A.
golden boys -Reese
la la la - Saul Williams
dry the rain - Beta Band
why'd ya do it - Marianne Faithfull
turn on your receiver Nazareth
no heaven - DJ Champion
love is the drug - Roxy Music
riffs and variations on a single note for jelly roll... - Sufjan Stevens
i'm deranged - David Bowie
melody day - Caribou
voodoo - Godsmack
feast here tonight - Foggy Hogtown Boys
evil - Howlin' Wolf
the greatest - Cat Power
chicago - Sufjan Stevens
vultan's theme (attack of the hawk men) - Queen
future love paradise - Seal
que pasa contigo (latin simone) - Ibrahim Ferraro & Gorillaz
carratero - Ibrahim Ferraro


p.s. give "future love paradise" a chance - it's time to bring it back.

Dude, Saul Williams?

LOVE that guy, but I'm uninitiated...any suggestions, album-wise?

"Dude", of course and always, in the non-gender-specific sense...

Hi Ryan! Yes, of course.

Honestly, 'Amethyst Rock Star' is the only CD I've heard in entirety from Saul Williams, and it was once long ago. I've been told by someone who might know that it's probably the best intro to Saul, so maybe try it if you're uninitiated.

There's a song called Grippo that I really like. It's weird. It's on a different album though, called 'Saul Williams,' of all things.

He's worthy of the love.
