The Quiet Irishman

So I made this mix back on the 4th of July but just never got around to putting it up.  I’m a lazy/non- blogger.  Anyways, here’s some tracks for summer listening.  Stuff I’ve discovered this summer, stuff that reminds me of summers past, stuff thats just hot.  All these songs are better in the car, at loud volume with your hand out the window.  Even better if you can piss someone off with you music.  I’m not posting mp3s cause mp3s suck arse.  Send me a message if you want and I’ll send you a cd or something.  Its a much more visceral experience that way.  Or go buy the music yourself and support the musicians who made it in the first place.  I promise there no crap in here.  Unless you have bad taste.

1. Get Up (I Feel Like Being a Sex Machine)-James Brown-Old but definetly not busted.
2. He Can only hold her-Amy Winehouse- A little new hotness.
3. Midnight Rounders-Sean Hayes- A little jazzy, folky song.  Great for getting ready to go somewhere.
4. Strange Magnificent Noise-Grand National-Great grooving, chill but not music.  Roll down your windows to this and wave your hand in the air.
5.Face to face- Daft Punk- Old track I rediscovered lately. Lovely
6. Daft Punk is  Playing at My House- Yeah, I went there.  Great song. I miss playing house parties.
7. Surf Wax America- Weezer- This reminds me of summer. Period.
8. You Gotta Dance(With who you came with)- The Hold Steady- Great dirty rock
9. Anything you want- Spoon- I can remember this feeling.
10. Do me a Favour- Arctic Monkeys- Angry summer music.  Very cathartic. Great build-up
11. The Fitted Shirt- Spoon- Again I really like this band
12. Rusty Cage- Johnny Cash- Well duh.
13. Halloweenhead- Ryan Adams- New Music.  One of the best songs I’ve heard in a long time. Seriously
14.  The Man- Pete Yorn-  Is it wrong to put Ryan Adams and Pete Yorn back to back?  I think not
15. I Hear a Symphony- Matthew Ryan-  This helps to try and make some sense of the world in general.
16. All my Friends- LCD Soundsystem- Just shut up and drive.  This is leg-en-dary
17. Start a War- The National- I don’t know.  I just like it.
18. My Name is Jonas- Weezer.  What you think I’d puss out at the end.  Its a summer mix after all.  Not a freaking piano recital.  I remember listening to this song riding my bike to the pool many years ago. The workers are going home……
