Inside My Bones
April 9th, my day for the van mix CD, on our drive from Boise, Idaho to Seattle, Washington. Sadly, I didn’t have any unused, blank CD-Rs with me, so I had to reuse an old one belonging to our Tour Manager, Joe. He was upset to see it go, but yanno:
ANYWAYS…
Inside My Bones
The Moon (Version) – The Microphones
In Earth’s Palm – Former Ghosts
Michael – Telepathe
Lorelei – Cocteau Twins
Sit Right Here – Hearts Of Animals
-Tickley Feather-
On The Sacred Side – Black Eyes
I Will Come Again – Bobby Birdman
Funeral Tango – Scott Walker
Concrete Life – Huggy Bear
King Of Breakfasts (A Dramatic Reading) – Gareth and Ollie (feat. Tom)
White Like Heaven – Gowns
Where Does A Body End – Swans
-Tickley Feather-
Lauren Marie – Girls
Write To Your Brother – Perfume Genius
Haunted Mealtimes – Elbows Like Swords
Telegraph – Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
Can I Take U 2 The Cinema? – Kenickie
Poppies – Lipsick!
Jerk – Muscles
-Tickley Feather-
Ceremony – Xiu Xiu
I Love You (But You’re Boring) – The Beautiful South
Some Notes:
- This is fairly typical of my musical tastes, whilst still attempting not to have a load of songs/bands that everyone in the van already knows I like, and minus noisy/ambient stuff. No Mouthus.
- The ‘Tickley Feather’ bits are snippets of speech I took from her self-titled record to act as segues.
- The move from the Black Eyes track into Bobby Birdman works LITERALLY perfectly.
- There are three songs on there I’d like to cover. Maybe one day.
- The The Beautiful South track might be my favourite song. Probably not, such a decision would be impossible to make I spose, but if a gun was pointed at my head…well then I’d totally get the bastard in an arm lock, push him to the ground, stamp on his head. But then I’d be all like:
“I Love You (But You’re Boring), motherfucker”
…BANG BANG. Just like Cactus Jack.
- That version of The Moon, is amazing. Potentially even more emotional than the original. It’s all organ and horns and Phil’s vocal, and was a perfect opening track.
- Girls and Perfume Genius are signed to a record label that I’m “involved with”. I keep meaning to make a proper blog post about it, but I’m more comfortable writing about football and broken bogs. I haven’t been so excited about two ‘new’ bands/artists in such a long time though. Perfume Genius especially, is just the most scarily beautiful music I’ve ever heard. Genuinely, ever.
- How many songs on Scott Walker Sings Jacques Brel, sound like the Thunderbirds theme tune?

Your mix IS totally awesome!

I can’t decide what I’m impressed MORE by: The elaborate mix? The exquisite taste in pornography? Is it really a loss? I’m vexed.

I have that Scott Walker CD – it really doesn’t do much justice to Mr Brel’s songs, unfortunately..

Don’t worry, we wouldn’t attempt to ruin that Gowns song.
TBS, HB, K.

There’s a version of Ryan Jarman doing a cover of Concrete Life somewhere. It’d be intriguing to hear LC!’s take on it though.

From the stuff I’m familiar with, that looks like a fucking great mix. Where’s that version of The Moon from?
Have you ever heard the Galaxie 500 cover of Ceremony? It’s really slow and dreamy and wonderful. (There are no bad versions of that song)
Also: King Of Breakfasts (A Dramatic Reading) – Gareth and Ollie (feat. Tom)
