Mix CD: Twist
October 25, 2010
Here is a mix I did a while ago that I’ve been listening to a lot lately. It was for a CD mix swap on swapbot where we were given a list of criteria and had to choose songs to fit each of them. I didn’t keep the songs in the order of the requirements list rather played around with it a bit so they flow fairly well.
.
- The Twist - Chubby Checker (Song from the 60’s)
- Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds - Elton John (Cover of a Beatles tune)
- How We Operate - Gomez (Song by a British rock band)
- Such Great Heights - The Postal Service (Song that inspires you)
- Marching Bands of Manhattan - Death Cab for Cutie (Song with a city in the title)
- Jackie’s Strength - Tori Amos (Song with a name in the title)
- The Flowers of Guatemala - R.E.M. (Song from the 80’s)
- Sweet Jane - Cowboy Junkies (Song that makes you think you would sell your soul for that talent)
- Flowers in December - Mazzy Star (Song with your birth month in the title)
- Let It Rain - Eric Clapton (Song with weather in the title)
- The Freshmen - The Verve Pipe (Song by a local band)
- The Difference - Matchbox 20 (Song by an artist with a number in their name)
- Song Beneath the Song - Maria Taylor (Song about a song)
- Love Shines (A Song for My Daughters About God) - Live (Song with a religious figure in the title)
- Goodbye Song - Abandoned Pools (Song that says goodbye)
- Your Star - The All-American Rejects (Song with the word “star” in the title)
- Magnolia - The Hush Sound (Song with a flower in the title)
- After the Gold Rush - Natalie Merchant (A live song)
I named this one “Twist” because the songs seem to twist around, and it was the name of my 60’s song. I found an awesome digital print titled “Twist” by RC Page at Deviant Art and obtained permission from the artist to use it as my cover.
