FMD: Second call for WGOM summer mix.

54 Comments

I decided to make a second request for summer-mix nominations.
(Read: I was too busy to wrap this up last week.)
Spoiler a ranked list of three songs. 1 is all-but-guaranteed to show up, and 2 and 3 may depending on space, ordering, variety, and editorial discretion.

    1. I hate this guy's voice. I don't know why I have this song.
    10/B - Those coming up next to each other makes a neat little theme, I suppose. Neat might not be the right word.

    1. Lots of Rilo Kiley. I first became aware of them when "With Arms Outstretched" was featured in the closing scenes of the series finale of Weeds.

      1. I love Rilo Kiley (and Jenny Lewis, separately - though I think her songwriting is missing a little something apart from the band). "Portions For Foxes" is one of my favorite songs.

    3. 1. I hate this guy's voice. I don't know why I have this song.

      Good lord. Not sure we can be friends, Phil.

      1. I know a lot of people like him, but his voice just grates on me. I fully accept that this is one of those "it's just me" moments. I don't have any good reasons or anything. I also don't like olives.

            1. I am married to a Canadian who doesn't like olives either, so I take no offense to this commie remark.

                  1. hey, those aren't weeds in Mr. Eagle's right talons. Olive branches, baby. Love 'em or leave 'em. 'murica!!!111one1111!!!

                    2. I always suspected your loyalty, what with the footy and sh!t. You are on the list.

  6. http://take.ms/c51K9

    The first song is mislabeled I'm pretty sure it is actually a Simple Plan cover some something but the lyrics aren't coming up in the webs right away.
    Track 15 is Days of the Week by Stone Temple Pirates - Thanks Shaazam for 50%.

    1. Nevermind found it:
      httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nOH0WXEL83Y

      Although the version I have is faster live version, also not a cover from what I can tell.

  7. A Kevin Love debate:

    Give my Love to Kevin -- The Wedding Present
    Love Will Tear Us Apart -- Joy Division

    Love's Gonna Live Here -- Buck Owens
    Goodbye to Love -- The Carpenters

    You've Got to Hide Your Love Away -- The Beatles
    Can't Buy Me Love -- The Beatles

    Love and Happiness -- Al Green
    Love Sick -- Bob Dylan

    If This is Love, Then I Want My Money Back -- Charlie Picket
    Love Hurts -- Roy Orbison

    1. Re: 6. Billy Ocean says yes.

      'Spoiler' SelectShow

      1. Ocean did have an album entitled Love Zone. And a hit single, Loverboy. And I think we've already seen reference to Love is Forever.

        1. Heck that whole Love Zone album fits. Here's the song titles:
          When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going
          Love Zone
          Without You There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)
          Bittersweet
          It's Never Too Late To Try
          Showdown
          Promise Me Love Is Forever

    1. I'm pretty sure that if he stuck around, eventually Souhan and Reusse, et. al would come to the conclusion that "Love Stinks".

    2. AMR would be happy to note that a guy approached me at the West End yesterday because I was wearing a Modest Mouse shirt and he started trying to talk to me about the Meat Puppets. Very strange.

    "Love", Overkill
    "Love Enslaves", Evenoire
    "No Love Lost", Carcass
    "Ghost Love Score", Nightwish
    "Wasting Love", Iron Maiden (Good lord is this on point.)

      1. Realistically, it's number one, but I figured my number 1 was less likely to make a bunch of lists (I never checked last Friday to see what sort of list we'd have).

      1. Nor normally in mine, either. In fact, the first time through it, I turned it off about halfway through. That song does have an intoxicating effect, though. I was just sitting here a couple of hours ago thinking "I should really listen to that again".

        1. Yeah, the first time I had it on as BGM and was pretty unimpressed. However, I've gone jogging with it a couple times, and listening to it more closely has revealed a rich tapestry.

  13. Here's my summer mix songs. I stuck to 2014 songs in order to make the list easier.
