Comment:
Growing up with an Irish American dad, St. Patrick's Day was always a big deal in my household. We'd listen to Irish music for hours on end while waiting for my mom to finish preparing our annual meal of corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots and Irish soda bread. Well, we celebrated St. Paddy's a day early this year, and I played lots of Irish tunes while we ate, sang and just had a great time together. The bugman has a limited appreciation for the Irish tunes, and is pretty relieved when our annual music fest is over with. This inspired me to create a different type of mix to celebrate St. Patrick's Day... an all-green mix. Like most of my mixes, it's a quirkfest from beginning to end. I had to sneak in the Irish Rovers for the closing track... maybe he won't notice ;)Links coming soon!
Feedback:
My favorite color. Love The Bees and Kinks and Elvis Costello songs!
I'm with whatwasmusic.
Super-cool stuff, buglady. Love the R.E.M. track (just busted out Fables yesterday, in fact), Lemon Pipers, Apples in Stereo, Booker T. and Elvis Costello tracks a lot.
I love the fact your mixes are Quirkfests, I wouldn't want it any other way. This looks t'riffic. Especially the 12-17 bit in the middle. And the Kinks...
green green is the word
Great Mix! Thanks for the comment. My fav on this mix is the first (obviosly!) Thanks again! HAPPY MIXING! and HAPPY ST.PATTY'S DAY!!!!!
Count me in for any of your Quirkfests (tm)!!
I didn't realize that my favorite color had so many great songs associated with it. Nice work. :-)
I guess I neglected to mention that green is my favorite color too!
add me to the list of costello lovers. i can't get enough of green shirt.
looks pretty damn cool - the jam, apples in stereo, kinks & elvis costello are real favorites - happy st. paddy's day!
Probably the coolest color theme mix ever. Thanks and Happy Green Day!
Brilliant ! Happy St. Pats!
With this mix, listenin' o' the green is as much fun as wearin' o' the green! Nice choices!
Very cool mix & happy St. Pats too.
I've always been a sucker for the opener. Wikipedia lists versions of "Bein' Green" by Frank Sinatra, Buddy Rich, Van Morrison, Diana Ross, Ray Charles, Mandy Patinkin, Stan Kenton, the Boston Pops, Tony Bennett and Oscar the Grouch (among others).
Fantastic! I especially love 7, 9, 13, 17, 20, 23-25. But where's Ken Nordine?
Not a lot of green in this nice Jewish boy's household, but damn, it's a fine mix. You hit most of the green-themed tunes that immediately sprung to my mind (particularly 2,3,7,8,10,15,24 and 25).
Ken was on an earlier incarnation of the Green Mix, but it threw off the flow... so it had to go.
I'm green with envy. (I suck, I know.) This mix doesn't.
Oooh I was about to say the below. Pipped to the post. This is fab!
a verdant delight!
Green is my favourite colour. I've done a few colour mixes but not yet green. Love the REM, Bees and Kinks tracks. And quite a few other. An emerald effort. ( I have to say a lot of us get fed up with St.Paddy's day here in England because everyone jumps on the Irish bandwagon declaring the Liffey runs through their veins. I actually am part Irish, one of my distant relatives was even in the IRA about 70 years ago.)
The Kinks, Booker T., Kingsmen, Ventures, and REM are some of my favorites here. Great theme!
Great bands, great tunes, great theme.
This mix is truly a Big Green Pleasure Machine!
You know it ain't easy ... finding all these green tunes.
quirkfest ! excellent word !excellent colour too . . .
who would'a guessed that *green* was so popular at AotM? It's always been my favorite color too! I'm arriving late to this one, but enjoyed it just the same - especially The Young Fresh Fellows, Irish Rovers, Trashmen, Enoch Light & His Light Brigade (one of my favorites), Herb Alpert, Kingston Trio, Rick Nelson, Dandy Warhols and Golden Bough.
