Dave's post college mix tape!!!
After reading a truly despicable playlist for a college party:
http://www.pointsincase.com/columns/simonne/2-8-04.htm
I decided that I might create one for those years after college.
I even got the author to put her own comments on it
Women without Whisky – Drive By Truckers
DT:
If I make it through this year, I think I'm gonna put this bottle down
Maybe as time goes on I'll learn to miss it less than I do now
Think I'm gonna tell her that I'm gonna go away for a while
Till I can get this demon out
Alcoholism is only fun in college. After that, it will hold you back from the women you have to settle with.
Simmone C. (SC) it’s all about trying to think of what decisions you are going to make in your life, and how sometimes you have to decide between partying and dating. Well it doesn’t matter the party’s not going to get busy for a bit and we can skip over it the second time we play the CD.
The Long and Winding Road – Beatles
DT: Because you are going to fail and wind up with that person you thought you could do better than after college only to find that you don’t make enough money to attract any good people and you find yourself (a la George to Susan) proposing to someone at their doorway.
SC: This one is a classic, and I can’t think of anyone who won’t know it. Oh it’s so tender.
Dancing with myself – Jennifer Love Hewitt, not Billy Idol
DT: Because you will be alone far too much and even if you are happily in a relationship, you will realize that it’s not the same feeling you used to get, like with the Billy Idol. Billy Idol is college, then you get the crap remake.
SC: Is it about masturbation or is it about being happy and going nuts? It’s a mystery and that’s why everyone still keeps listening. And until you have heard the “Ghost Whisperer” sing her version, you ain’t seen nothing yet.
Prostitutes – Chef
DT: A prostitute is someone who will love you no matter who you are or what you look like
No that’s not why you pay for a prostitute, you’re not paying a prostitute to come you’re paying her to leave afterwards.
Because you are going to be on one side of this equation at one point in your life, because after college, sex isn’t free like it used to be
SC: Get with the times, South Park is awesome. Let the CD reach it’s midpoint with style! I mean even if it’s only 45 seconds it’s a funny song and people need to laugh.
In the wee small hours of the morning – Sinatra
DT: Get ready to cry a lot. Thru divorces, through traumatic breakups, and even after the one week affairs you hoped would change into something meaningful.
SC: All mix tapes need one cool down, more romantic song to make sure everyone can talk to each other. This one sets the mood and then the lull gets you ready for the big second half.
Wouldn’t it be nice – Beach Boys
DT: A classic song about being able to tear off the shackles of having parents so that you can spend that one special night with your girl. It makes people not only nostalgic for college, but the double whammy of missing high school as well.
SC: This one not only warms up the party again without going full on back to rock or hip hop. It’s an American classic, and you need a love song to recover from a sad song.
I will Dare – The Replacements
DT: A song that’s all about admitting your shame in perving out on little girls, and hoping that they will join you if they go along with you in the dare. The song starts out, “How young are you, How old am I.” beside that, it reminds you that you can’t sleep with the girls in the mall that are no looking even hotter since Paris became a national figure.
SC: I had actually… never heard of this song or this group. It totally rocks, and I bet it’s about picking up girls. We’ll need that for all of those lonely folks out there. The guys will maybe act on it and maybe the gals will be more receptive.
My Name is Jonas / Buddy Holly / El Scorcho – Weezer
DT: Pick one. It may stir up the debate of whether Pinkerton is one of the most under-appreciated albums you have ever heard. Then you realize that after 22, Weezer sounds like a bunch of D-bags, and that this band prevented you from scoring with decent women.
SC: All are college classics. This one will take them back! They are heavy, but not too heavy. I don’t know anyone at college that doesn’t like Weezer!
Love Will Tear us Apart – Joy Division
DT: One of the 10 best singles of the last 25 years. Just a great testament to how relationships fail when you care about the person. The irony of this one hits like an anvil to anyone who knows anything about real relationships.
OMG! You haven’t heard this song before. You ever heard of Interpol? This band was like Interpol before Interpol. Yeah, it’s cool isn’t it, it rocks and it’s dark but it’s not like the music the art kids used to play at their parties. And if you have any former Art students, they will appreciate it as they fill your drink.
Black Star – Radiohead
DT: This is all about finding your girl at home in her sexy clothes when you come home early from work, and figuring out someone else is there with her. You try and get over it, but you can’t and you are somewhat relieved because you knew she wasn’t the one, but at the same time, it hurts and you’ll blame it one something other than your fault.
SC: Like I had a boyfriend Freshman year who used to love this band. I never got it, but whatevs. I cheated on him and then we broke up. Not bad though.
Powerless – Nelly Furtado
DT: I always liked her, she was the smarter version of every pop girl you didn’t want to admit that you liked. You would sleep with Britney, you would marry Nelly. It’s a song about finally realizing that you can’t live like an idiot kid anymore and you should start thinking about the family you have likely started by not having the girl on the pill.
SC: Finally a female musician again. Did you know she’s like multi-national or something. Oh man, this one keeps you pumped and makes you realize that there is other music out there. Your friends will thank you for this.
Tiny Dancer – Elton John
DT: Well, this one will give you time to go get a drink. It may also show you are sensitive. But when you play it alone it will likely remind you of Almost Famous and you realize that you should have started playing guitar or some other instrument in high school so you could get chicks later on.
SC: OOOOOHHH. Aww this is such a sweet song. It always reminds me of Almost Famous. Maybe if you are lucky everyone will sing together. OMG that would be soooo awesome!
Party Hard – Andrew WK
DT: This song will help to get you in the mood, because you are going to have to get shitfaced to enjoy parties like you used to, and if you haven’t noticed you can’t get drunk off a six pack anymore. Get drinking…fast.
SC: OMG, I totally rush to the bar for this song. Lets PARTY. CARPE DIEM!!!!
Roxanne – Police
DT: This will clear the party out so you can go to bars and get the hell away from these people you sadly have to admit are now your friends. You won’t have any luck there, but there’s hope.
SC: Alright, the CD’s about to end. I tell you what, I’ll drink every time he says Roxanne and you drink every time put on the red light is sung.
SC: WHOO PARTY!!!!
DT: What am I doin’? I miss Carol.(sighs)
