Mix CD help?

[leahrosmerta]

So, I need to make a mix CD this evening.

The overriding theme of the mix exchange is "nothing about love". So I've decided my theme will be "Sex, Drugs & Rock 'n' Roll! (plus some stuff in other languages)".

So far, I have:
Dynamic Calories by Steven Malkmus & the Jicks
Formed a Band by Art Brut
Maybe something by the Hold Steady, as it could be about

I'm out...

I got nothing, but not from lack of wanting to help...

Hmm. I could fill a lot of time by putting VU's "Heroin" on the CD.

Ain't no antisocial drug like heroin!

Weird -- I was gonna suggest "pure morning" by placebo.

[senjalta]

For Drugs? "Drug Test," Yo La Tengo. Hooray for obvious!
R.E.M. might be good for songs not about love.

[leahrosmerta]

Hmm, maybe Little America.

Sounds like you've got a good start.

My first thoughts:

Spiritualized - Medication (another 8 minute epic) OR Lay Back In the Sun (chorus: good dope, good fun)
the Verve - The Drugs Don't Work
Wilco - Handshake Drugs
the Blake Babies - Brain Damage
Cursive - Art is Hard OR Sink to the Beat

-John (mountmccabe)

Wilco - Handshake Drugs

Oh! Yeah! That was another one I was thinking about earlier.

Now... Ghost is Born version, or EP version?

[anonymous]

I don't know the EP version! How is it different?
