Mixtape Tuesday, volume 2

This is a tape I made last July entirely from a bunch of MP3's on my hard drive:

side 1:
1. Rocket From The Crypt - "Dick On A Dog"
2. Billy Idol - "Rebel Yell"
3. New Pornographers - "The Body Says No"
4. Spymob - "Half-Steering"
5. Ben Folds - "Zak and Sara"
6. Stephen Malkmus - "Jenny and the Ess-Dog"
7. Portastatic - "Bobby Jean"
8. Brendan Benson - "Metarie (demo)"
9. Bobbie Gentry - "Reunion"
10. Shania Twain - "Nah!" (Sean C Brown mix)
11. Shania Twain - "Ka-Ching!" (Sean C Brown mix)
12. Shania Twain - "Waiter! Bring Me Water!" (Sean C Brown mix)
13. Shania Twain - "Up!" (Sean C Brown mix)

side 2:
1. Small Faces - "Ooh La La"
2. Neil Finn - "She Will Have Her Way"
3. Afghan Whigs - "66"
4. Mike Watt - "The 15th" (live)
5. Wire - "The 15th"
6. Talking Heads - "What A Day That Was" (live)
7. Travis Morrison - "Sixteen Types of People"
8. Ween - "Where'd The Cheese Go?" Part 1
9. Ween - "Where'd The Cheese Go?" Part 2
10. Ted Leo - "Walking Through"
11. The Strokes - "What Ever Happened?"
12. Incubus - "A Crow Left of the Murder"
13. Hank Williams - "I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You)"
14. Christina Aguilera - "Beautiful"
15. Eamon - "Fuck It (I Don't Want You Back)"

Everything on there is either not commercially available or from a record I don't own and/or by artists I don't own anything by but like that particular song. I don't know where the Brendan Benson demo is from, but I got it from Jeffy (who also has a similiar weekly Tuesday mix feature, and as it happens his WTF-centered mix this week also includes Eamon), and it's not the album version or any of the lame alternate versions that are on the "Metarie" EP. Also, I like the Mike Watt version of "The 15th" so much more than the original. Back when he used to tour with a guitarist (before the current incarnation of his live band that features an organ), I saw him do it live a few times and it really is a genius transformation, with almost twangy vocal harmonies that noone else would have thought to apply to that song.

That Metarie demo was posted on Brendan Benson's old MP3.com site about a year before Lapalco came out. I'm pretty sure it was never included on a commercial release. It's drastically different than the version that showed up on the album or the version used in the video. I like it lots.
