Comment:
It takes a person of a certain disposition to, immediately after finding a strange red mark on his neck upon waking, wonder if he will have a roommate in the hospital. Right now this is my primary concern. So I'm off to Urgent Care in a bit, and I have a slightly fatalistic view of it all. I'd like to also say that this red mark itches like a son of a bitch. Leave flowers at my grave.In more mix-related news, the original idea for this 'un was songs that had a certain off-center poppiness. Namely, the Alex Chilton and Mountain Goats songs. You know, weirdly catchy songs. So that goes on for a while, then I mixed in some odds and sods, strange covers and the like. Then tossed in some stuff that sort of fit to round it off. And attatched the last song because of my impending crisis. That's what the title(from the Handsome Family song) refers to as well, of course. Man, the Handsome Family is awesome. Really, insanely good. And speaking of that last song, I always get the urge to sing along, loudly, but it seems rather morbid to do so. Yet I do.
One last thing...the Mountain Goats. I can't even put it into words. If it is possible for an Ace of Base cover to save the world, this one would do just that. John Darnielle is a living God. I wonder if that kind of flippancy toward the heavens explains this mark on my neck...
Feedback:
This is really nice Adam. I especially like the Dylan, Huskers, Zevon and Chilton picks.
Holy heck - good luck with your neck! I feel as though the ghost of Scruffy the Cat will save you - that is one boss song from a boss band!
sarcastic title, awesome mix, confetti is such a great song
if you do end up dying, might I have your Sega Genesis??...oh, and maybe your self-inflating whoopie cushion
I'll leave them both to you in the will. The quack said it's ringworm, but I'm not sure he's to be trusted. Anyhow, now I'm stuck with two days off work and lots of lotion application.
Speaking of which, I feel strange telling people I have ringworm. It sounds disgusting. Actually, though, it has nothing to do with worms. It's like athlete's foot on your neck. Why you would call it something that misleading and scary is beyond me. It would be like referring to the removal of tonsils as penisectomy. It makes no damn sense and sounds terrible.
It's actually caused by a fungus, trychophyton sp. Glad to hear that's all it was, Adam. Reaaly like the lower third of this, BTW.
Glad it's only ringworm, because there's too much crap on TV anyway. Looks like a pretty neat mix you've compiled. I like it
Nice mix Adam..., and I don't think there's any upside to either choice in your title. (In fact, it's damn near a redundancy in terms.)
I had ringworm once, and I too freaked when the doctor told me. Yikes, pointy-teethed critters burrowing under my skin! Marginally more attractive than thrush. Anyway, nice music Adam.
This looks like a really great one, Adam. One of my very favorite Jack White/Blind Willie moments and so much more.
Oh, Adam. I wouldn't go so far as to say John Darnielle is God, but maybe more along the lines of the Son of Man. Just a thought. And damn you for using that particular song, you got to it before I did (not surprising considering I haven't posted a mix in forever...)
