So, this was my first mix for RCMTC, and it was a lot of fun. I had a hard time narrowing down how I wanted to interpret the theme, so I ended up doing four mini-mixes. Hopefully that’s not cheating! After listening to it a few times, I think it actually flows together pretty nicely (with the exception of the Immortal song on the Metal-mix, I find myself repeatedly skipping over that one. Oops, Bad call.)
Anyways, here they are, enjoy!
Road trip:
You and your best friend just said fuck everything and are taking off for the weekend, it’s a hot summer morning and you’re setting off east, toward the mountains, but no real clue where y’all are headed. You just know you don’t have shit to do until Monday and that’s all you need.
Tracks:
- The Wagon – Dinosaur Jr.
- True Zero – Zero Zero
- Amityville Horror – Silent Majority
- Mutt – The Saturday Knights
- Across the Shields – Torche
- For Huey, With Love & Squalor – Splurge
- Speakers Push the Air – Pretty Girls Make Graves
Hot summer dusk on the porch:
It’s a hot summer night, and you’re chillin’ out on the porch because the AC is broke and going inside would be stupid. There’s fireflies everywhere, it’s humid as shit and that tall, cool glass of sweet tea is the best fucking thing in the world right now.
Tracks:
- By this River – Three Mile Pilot
- Dust Devil Girls – Foxgloves
- A New Drink for the Old Drunk – Crooked Fingers
- Church of Level Track – Tim Barry
- Lakes of Pontchartrain – Be Good Tanyas
- Electric Relaxation – A Tribe Called Quest
- Tuff Luck – Seam
It’s summer, and you can’t fucking stand it.
This whole “summer” thing clearly isn’t working out for you. Your black clothes do nothing but attract the heat, kids are laughing at you because your corpse-paint is totally melting, and everyone is all happy and stuff. Your Carpathian sensibilities just find the whole damn thing offensive.
Tracks:
- Black Metal Friends – Atom & His Package
- Deadly Sinners – 3 Inches of Blood
- Call of the Wintermoon – Immortal
It’s summer… and omg you’re a huge douchebag!
Face it, you are. But chill bro’, it’s cool. Just pop that collar and say fuck what everyone else thinks. For realz. You deserve these jams!
Tracks:
- All Star – Smashmouth
- Every Morning – Sugar Ray
- Thong Song – Sisqo
