Don't ask me to remember how I used to sleep

Category: Electronic soul.

Sounds like: Reminiscing when it's time to move on.

I wanted to do a soul mix of sorts, but with the catch that I'd use only recent electronic artists. After some sifting I patched together the following, which is a bit long but good for late-night bouts with insomnia. Might be a bit lite and coffee haus-ish for some, but with all of the bass-heavy tracks, it sounds good under the influence. The vague image I had for this mix is a girl gets back in the evening after work, sits back on her couch, takes a few hits from the pipe and puts this mix on, wondering why it didn't work out with him. Charles Cooper of Telefon Tel Aviv killed himself just recently, and I can't help but think of him now when I listen to his song here.

The 2:22 Mix for 2/22

Originally posted at my blog.

Here's my mix of songs that are 2:22 long. It's just a zip folder of mp3s but here is the tracklist. Mostly tried to keep it halfway consistent throughout and applicable for some sort of social gathering (not that anyone is going to listen to this in that way) but I think it's pretty good. 30 songs, though I guess I should have narrowed it to 22. silly me. it's almost all rock n roll, soul, country/rockabilly and a couple punkish songs. Some of the mp3s come out as 2:23, but they are actually 2:22 in length when they play. Itunes is just weird sometimes. again, i didn't retag because i just did this pretty quick for fun, so if you add these files to your itunes or whatever, just add them to a playlist in this order.

1. bullion - i just wasn't made for these times
2. al green - ride sally ride (single edit)
3. rufus thomas - i think i made a boo boo
4. jr. walker & the all-stars - do the boomerang
5. them - just a little bit
6. herbie duncan - hot lips baby
7. boyd bennett - move
8. patsy cline - stop, look & listen
9. speedy west & jimmy bryant - old joe clark
10. meat puppets - buckethead
11. blondie - hanging on the telephone
12. the clean - billy two
13. the rolling stones - rip this joint
14. johnny thunders & heartbreakers - baby talk
15. lizzy mercier descloux - wawa
16. the rumblers - clap hands
17. james bell & the turner brothers - the funky buzzard
