Your list finished strong. I am embarrassed to admit that I only know a handful of these songs!

Making your Lunch mixed tape, huh?? Great work, love the videos.

cenobite7 February 06, 2010

Thnks Jim. This was a fun list to compile. It's sort of like a mixed CD in the making & you guys should consider yourselves lucky to hear it first because I haven't even burned the cd yet for myself. LOL

Yay for Cat Power!

Chan is awesome! I don't think this represents all her work but somehow I can't get enough of this song. Ahh, it drives me crazy. Ironically, she is from my area but I've never met her. I have friends of the family who knew her as well as her sister. Funny that. Thnks Melissa!!

Good stuff. I love Berlin and I even like that song despite the fact that it was partly responsible for their break up. "How Soon Is Now" is perhaps the sexiest song I've ever heard about not being able to get a date. I'm surprised that you didn't include any Tori. Seems almost criminal. ; )

cenobite7 February 05, 2010

I agree. But I'm already expected to put Tori on every list of music I create just as people are now expecting Otto; Or Up With Dead People to be on every movie list of mine. Hmm, sometimes we cenos are ironic. I'm thinking about burning this CD today. Thanks Orlok!

Most CDs hold about 80 minutes, so you could fit at least five more songs on here. If I might be so bold to suggest a few based on what you already have...
Cyndi Lauper "Time After Time"
Led Zeppelin "Whole Lotta Love"
Derek & the Dominoes "Layla"
The Cure "Pictures of You"
Annie Lennox "Love Song for a Vampire"

cenobite7 February 05, 2010

Definitely The Cure. The others are pretty good ideas too. I don't remember the Annie Lennox track however. Which album is that on?

Count_Orlok_22 February 05, 2010

It's from the soundtrack to the 1992 film "Bram Stoker's Dracula". It plays during the credits.

cenobite7 February 05, 2010

Hmm, don't recall it but I'll look it up. Thanks! I could've thrown some Diamanda Galas on the mix album but the atmosphere of this one is more mellow so perhaps I'll reserve her material for an edgier or darker Valentine's Day mixed CD.

Count_Orlok_22 February 05, 2010

Yeah, the Valentine's Day CD for really bad break-ups and revenge sex. LOL!

cenobite7 February 05, 2010

Some Diamanda, Nine Inch Nails, & that Kelis song "Caught Out There". LOL

MelissaAq February 06, 2010

"the sexiest song I've ever heard about not being able to get a date". HAHA I LOVE IT! So true, too. One of my favorites. "So you go and you stand there alone, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry and you want to die". So depressed.

Count_Orlok_22 February 06, 2010

Exactly, and Morrissey delivers that line perfectly. I miss The Smiths and "Girlfriend in a Coma" just doesn't get enough radio play.

cenobite7 February 06, 2010

Yeah, it's a pretty depressing song but Morrissey could sing his grocery list to me & I would be willing to listen. I love his voice whether it be work with The Smiths or his solo offerings. Morrissey rocks!

Count_Orlok_22 February 06, 2010

I'm only familiar with his early solo work. Late '80s and early '90s stuff. I think he released an album just a few years ago... have you heard it?

cenobite7 February 06, 2010

He actualyl released two last year but I've only heard bits and pieces. I'm more familiar with his work with The Smiths & then the first few solo albums like Bona Drag which I still play religiously.

djevoke February 07, 2010

Man, if you two EVER did a collabo...I would buy the CD off iTunes in a snap! Love the list, Bri! I've been thinking of doing one but, there's way too many on my list ;p

Count_Orlok_22 February 07, 2010

You can always do one and then sequels. I've been guilty of that quite a bit lately. ; )
