00:02 Slim Gaillard - "Potato Chips"
To translate Slim's lyrics here:
Though one wouldn't suspect it really,
potato chips can in fact be located in such places as a 'baseball ground',
as it's called
- by no one.
Oh, the price of a rhyme.
The people at Lay's should secure the rights to this song.
03:08 Pere Ubu - "Street Waves"
"Rock music is mostly about moving big black boxes from one side of town to the other in the back of your car." - David Thomas
06:02 Propellarheads - "Bang On!"
09:12 Jim Carroll Band - "People Who Died"
14:04 Beck "No Complaints"
16:54 Wire "Strange" among the snottiest of vocals.
19:40 Stereolab "Metronomic Underground"
This sleepy crew can really swing. This is a live version from ABC Music: The Radio 1 Sessions.
29:55 Jimmy Bryant and Speedy West - "Stratosphere Boogie"
32:02 Disney Songs "Whistle While You Work"
33:53 The Breeders - "Hag" from Pod.
36:33 Polyphonic Spree - "Lithium"
I recall the sense of elation I felt when first hearing the original. This cover seems to recapture that manic edge that has worn off.
41:51 Killing Joke - "Eighties".
Nirvana were pretty open about the fact that this was the source for the bassline hook for "Come As You Are".
Nirvana even had one of the Killing Joke guys onstage once.
Maybe money exchanged hands.
"Struggle!"
45:41 Ween
48:34 Paul Evans - "Seven Little Girls Sitting In The Back Seat"
(huggin' & kissin' with Fred)(1959)
Regardless of decade, this song is utterly filthy.
The "little" girls sound like church service special music ladies.
Fred is able to somehow erotically occupy seven of them in simultaneity.
50:49 Ulrich Schnauss "Stars"
56:48 Mark Lanegan Band - "Come To Me"
(Featuring PJ Harvey) from Bubblegum.
That guitar part from Radioheads's "Electioneering" and the harmony you don't know where it's gonna go...
60:28 Strange Country Mashup.
I did spot a sample from the Scott Walker song "The Amorous Humphrey Plugg". Admirably obscure.
65:38 Lorraine Ellison - "Stay With Me" Very doormat.
69:04 Scala And Kolacny Brothers - "Exit Music (For A Film)"
Image from Wikipedia, is of Operation Tumbler-Snapper, a series of atomic tests conducted by the United States in the spring of 1952 at the Nevada Test Site.
"The "rope tricks" which protrude from the bottom of the fireball are caused by the heating, rapid vaporization and then expansion of mooring cables (or specialized rope trick test cables) which extend from the shot cab (the housing at the top of the tower that contains the explosive device) to the ground. Malik observed that when the rope was painted black, spike formation was enhanced, and if it were painted with reflective paint or wrapped in aluminum foil, no spikes were observed – thus confirming the hypothesis that it is heating and vaporization of the rope, induced by exposure to high-intensity visible light radiation, which causes the effect. Because of the lack of mooring ropes, no "rope trick" effects were observed in surface-detonation tests, free-flying weapons tests, or, obviously, in underground tests."
