YouTube Mix Tape Vol. 2

Okay this is actually one of my favorite features to do, because 1) I get to put alot of great stuff for me to listen to all in one place and 2) I always get to discover new things every time I delve into youtube.

I figure I'll do these every month or so from now on. This one's got a definite early 90's flavor to it. I guess I was just in that kind of mood. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting it together. Once again all shoutouts are intentional.

Geto Boys -Mind Playin' Tricks on Me
Now you might remember that the Geto's "Let a Ho be a Ho" was the first ever "Song You Should Know". As much as they could get raw and vulgar and downright nasty, this song solidified their status as legit artists back in the day. It really captures a reflective mood on some fucked up subjects.


Sonic Youth - Bull in the Heather
Captures a totally different mood...that's all I'm gonna say. Kathleen Hannah from Bikini Kill is the girl jumping around in the vid. She was totally my type of woman back in the day, cute, cheeky, but just as likely to slit your jugular vein if you crossed her...fine maybe it still is my type of woman...haters!


Cypress Hill- How I could Just Kill a Man
Speaking of slicing jugulars...I loved this song so much I had a Cypress Hill sticker on the original PAJ Roller..and yes, before I get busted by old friends I also had a House of Pain and a Cure sticker as well. I'm never gonna be able to get away with anything on this blog.


Fugazi - Waiting Room
I really really really hate how the term "Emo" has evolved into what it is now. The term orginated to describe a set of Fugazi-inspired bands and has evolved into something synonymous with 90's goth...a term I also hated. Sit back and let the hate just build suckas...mmmm juicy hate!


N.W.A. - 100 Miles and Runnin'
The perfect song to play when drivin' and runnin from five-oh or I guess as the kids these days call it, the Po-Po. I can't really call it TRUE N.W.A. since this was post Ice Cube, but MC Ren shines here and Eazy E hit cleanup better than any MC who ever lived. Note the Warriors inspired spot in the middle of the song. Just a true hip-hop classic


Violent Femmes - Add it Up (Live)
They were the "gateway" band for me, which led me away from Huey Lewis and the News and the Outfield. My favorite Femmes song...you might remeber Ethan Hawke in Reality Bites covering this song before he gets punked by Winona Ryder. Awesome version here.


Spinal Tap - Listen to the Flower People
Great movie that I need to revisit. Harry Scherer has me on the floor during this clip.


Wyclef Jean- Perfect Gentlemen
I was in Vegas last week, and had one of those nights where we exited the strip club to sunlight. We also got the complimentary party bus ride back to the hotel. I can't get this song out of my head now. "I called up my Mamma said I'm in love with a stripper, yo!"


The Moldy Peaches feat.Chris Barron- Two Princes
This is such a fun clip. It was one of those hidden gems of youtube. I was looking for the Peaches "Downloading Porn with Dave-O" but instead found this. Anyone who lived through the Spin Doctors should pardon Chris Barron for past sins for this particular version...and yes, I've actually seen the Spin Doctors live...twice.


L.L. Cool J - I'm That Type of Guy
So many great cocky lines lines here. L.L. showes his true awesome colors here. I always like to imagine that this is the song L.L.'s girls hear a week after "I Need Love"


They Might Be Giants -Don't Let's Start
One band I must see live, but haven't yet. One of my all time favorite songs.


XTC- Senses Working Overtime
Mandy Moore covered this song sorta recently. I wanted to stab her in th jaw. This was the song playing the first night I dicovered Indie 103 on a drive to LAX. This was tonight's upload to youtube and PAJ's way of giving back.


Out for now suckas!
