Comment:

A shot at the usual rules of a "Frankenstein Mix". Here are the rules and some comments on the tracks I chose:

o 1. A song from the last record you bought

From "Substrata/A Man With A Movie Camera" (2001)

o 2. A blues: not a necessarily a blues record but a song that is labeled (something) blues.

A classic Hawkins track with a peculiar lyrical reference.

o 3. A song that gets you going in the morning.

A very upbeat reggae/dance track.

o 4. A song that you think is romantic

From "Another Green World". A little bit cheesy but very romantic!

o 5. One of the earliest records that you can remember listening to.

The first LP I have bought. Europe - "The Final Countdown" (1987)

o 6. A song that you discovered from a film.

A great mellow Japanese pop song.

o 7. A song from your favorite band / artist.

The only band that matters.

o 8. A song from an artist band that you otherwise don't like, but like this one

I always disliked all the prog rock bands turned pop in the 80s but i like this song and had a great video too!

o 9. A lullaby.

A rather dark lullaby!

o 10. A song that makes you laugh / you find funny.

from one of my most favorite movies of all times. "The Life Of Brian"(1979)

o 11. A really good cover version

An excellent jazz medley of a reggae and a jazz track from the acclaimed trio.

o 12. A song that reminds you of school days

From the grunge/punk highschool days.

o 13. A song from an artist that you are embarrassed to admit you like

Everyone thins they suck but I find them quite funny and cool!

o 14. Whatever it is, it's got to be funky.

Not a typical funk song but a great funk bass riff and great lyrics too!

o 15. A song for those quiet rainy days.

Dub be good to me!

o 16. A song that no matter when you hear it makes you "Feel good".

I absolutely love this upbeat and hedonistic track from Madchester's greats!

o 17. A song with the word "Look" in the title.

A hip hop/jazz track with roy Ayers on vibraphone.

o 18. From a member of the "Dead rockers society".

Reggae's iconic figure!

o 19. Your favourite Elvis song.

It speaks for itself!

o 20. Wildcard - Hey, just put any song you like on!

Originally by a dutch sound collage artist Solex and covered here by Seattle's country/folk rockers The Walkabouts. A very weird cover indeed!
