Monday Mix-tape - 28.01.2013

So, have you managed to survive 'The Big Freeze'? I'm guessing that as you're reading this, then you probably have, even if you've lost a few toes to frostbite or something like that.

Well, after two weeks of traffic 'chaos' and 'disruption' due to the snow and cold, the rain came last night and washed it all away. Thank God. So in honour of that, here's ten tracks about rain:

1) Rain - The Beatles
One word that says all I need it to!

2) Purple Rain - Prince
A rare entry for the midget of funk!

3) November Rain - Guns N Roses
Three months too late, or ten months too early?!

4) Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head - B.J. Thomas
Luckily I was in bed, so I stayed dry!

5) Rainy Day Women #12 & #35 - Bob Dylan
Not so much about rain, as getting stoned it would seem!

6) Set Fire To The Rain - Adele
Maybe she's been listening to Bob?!

7) Driving Rain - Paul McCartney
Rain, that's driven by the wind!

8) Here Comes The Rain Again - Eurythmics
Not that I'm complaining, for once!

9) Somewhere Over The Rainbow - Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
Yes, I'm sure that's how he spelled his name!

10) It's Raining Men - The Weather Girls
A challenge for the TV weather graphics!

And there you have it. Ten wet wonders to keep you busy for another week.

Monday Mix-tape - 22.10.2012

Hello, only me again! Sorry, but it's that time again... Mix-tape Time!! I couldn't come up with a theme myself, and despite my invitation to you readers to come up with a theme from time to time, no one has bothered. So I picked up my phone, went to the music player and shoved it on random, and what follows is the first ten tracks...

1) How Do You Sleep? - John Lennon
John has a post-break-up dig at Paul!

2) Act Naturally - The Beatles
Ringo basically admits he can't act!

3) At My Most Beautiful - REM
Cor, I'm gorgeous!

4) Red Scab - Adam & The Ants
Punk scabbiness!

5) I Was Made To Love Her - Stevie Wonder
Stevie knows why he's here!

6) My Little Empire - Manic Street Preachers
Manics come over a little 'Napoleon'!

7) She's Crafty - The Beastie Boys
Either she's sneaky, or good with her hands!

8) Sunrise - Norah Jones
Ravi Shankar's daughter, did you know?!

9) I Feel Free - Cream
No restrictions!

10) Can't Truss It - Public Enemy
Totally un-truss-able!

There you go, a mix-tape selection that's totally random. Until next time!
