My little brother's always listened to the music I play and normally says whether he particularly likes something or not - generally I'd say he tends to be pretty good at spotting the same things as i like in music, so i thought I'd make him a cd.
He's recently been getting into skateboarding with his mates and was playing an indie skate video the other day. I nearly leapt out of my skin when I realised they were playing Beefheart, Pavement and a whole bunch of other decent shit on this video, so I decided to theme this comp around what I'd want to hear if I was a 15 year old skateboarder. Something fun, something funky, probably American-sounding, diverse, funny, silly in places, definitely hip or obscure (but not to the point where you fall off the ramp from the weird noises).
Anyway, so I blended the tracks best I could using Acid Pro to make it feel like more of a mix, cutting out some of the bits that go on too long and adding continuity to the bastard.
Here goes:
1. beastie boys - alright hear this2. david holmes presents the free association - don't rhyme no mo3. smashing pumpkins - tribute to johnny3. chris morris & osymyso - bushwhacked4. two lone swordsmen - brother foster through the phones5. add n to (x) - metal fingers in my body6. beach boys - catch a wave7. bill wells octet - wiltz8. pavement - motion suggests / false skorpion9. the pioneers - na na hey hey (kiss him goodbye)10. kyuss - supa scoopa and mighty scoop11. bad manners - can can12. mos def - jam on it13. the cadets - stranded in the jungle14. depeche mode - just can't get enough15. nora dean - barbwire16. perrey kingsley - space farmyard17. sonic youth - mildred pierce18. venetian snares - einstein rosen bridge19. lloyd price - coconut woman20. beastie boys - ricky's theme21. aphrodites child - four horsemen22. the silver jews - honk if you're lonely23. the upsetters - untitled instrumental24. nirvana - school25. osymyso - fiver to bigwig
