That's MISTER puppy to YOU

That's MISTER puppy to YOU can be downloaded directly by clicking here.

1. John Barry "Highway 101"

2. Mashup Barry White/Beach Boys. GoHome Productions/Mark Vidler.

3. Quincy Jones "The Streetbeater" from the 1973 LP You've Got It Bad Girl

4. Wolfgang Press "King of Soul"

5. Hmmm, dunno.

6. Nick Cave from The Secret Life Of The Love Song & The Flesh Made Word: Two Lectures By Nick Cave. His Bible commentary combined with the soundtrack to a short film I'd like to see some day called Nutation by Myriam Bessette. I put them together and I like to think it works. And thus we enter the perverse contrast zone for the next three cuts.

7. Bright Eyes "When the President Talks to God"

8. Sgt. Barry "Ballad of the Green Beret"

9. Cocteau Twins "Ice Pulse". I like the Cocteau Twins, especially the late stuff. This I heard first on the soundtrack to the documentary film "Tarnation". A powerful film about Jonathan Caouette growing up with his schizophrenic mother told with his own home videos. Allegedly made for under $300 on a Mac (soundtrack budget aside, of course).

10. Song Poem Song of the Burmese Land. From 365 Days site.

11. Iron and Wine "Naked as We Came" A song about dying that isn't written by Tom Waits for a change.

12. Eno and Cluster "Steinsame" mixed with-

13. Laurel and Hardy From the beginning of the film "Beau Hunks".
I found it
here.

4. The Gourds "Gin and Juice"
Snoop Dogg cover. Agreed example of cover surpassing original.

15. Scala Choir "Teenage Dirtbag"
I've new respect (well, not 'new') for this song with every listen of this version. Such lyrical economy.
"Her boyfriend's a dick - he brings a gun to school"
The original is unrecognizably terrible. This cover tears away the chiffon and spam and reveals the ingot self. A new iteration of the
Wilsonion Teenage Prayer to God.

16. Beck "Do You Realize? "

17. Frank Sinatra "Stardust"

18. Ulrich Schnauss "Gone Forever"
from
a strangely isolated place
He's due for another release. I look forward to it. My Bloody Valentine plus Cocteau Twins plus Eno minus Sonic Youth plus, plus...

19. Jill Sobule "I Love to be Annoyed by You".
Yvette found this gem.


20 The Flaming Lips "Life on Mars " Bowie Cover
(annoying, get it?)


21. Seu Jorge "Five Years"
from "The Life Aquatic" soundtrack

22. Rev. Al Green "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart?"
BeeGees cover. A slow burn, but he finally gets to it.

His clothes
are all wet.

23. Cat Power "Sea of Love"
The Tom Waits cover of this song is so much better. Next mix.


25. Song Poem Green Fingernails.
