Weekend Mix: 6/5/15

wm2

Some hard to find classic rock.

 

Here are the first lines of all 14 songs.  Recognize any?

Cassius Clay was hated more than Sonny Liston.
Sometimes I walk around town looking at faces.
He had a haircut like Martin Van Buren.
Come gather ’round me, people, here’s a story you never heard.
Dear Elaine, what have I done.
We drag our arrows up to the edge of town.
You know you sell yourself too short.
Wasted Words about an old love affair.
Sun through the curtains I gave you a sign.
I want to hold the hand inside you.
You gave your best shot.
Mamma’s in the kitchen rattlin’ pans and the baby cries.
They met one night at a party.
Come on in buddy.

Blast From Christmas Past: 12/24/05 RanchoCast

Christmas_02

Back in the day, I used to do the RanchoCasts, podcasts featuring me talking about various tech related topics and playing good music.  On Christmas Eve 2005, I did one featuring Christmas songs.

Here, for musical and nostalgia purposes, is that RanchoCast from 12/24/05.

It consists of nine mostly off the beaten path Christmas songs.

Enjoy.

Rancho Mix, Volume 3 (Alt. Country)

While I am still deeply into Spotify, I also enjoy the ability to roll some mixes that are available to those who stubbornly refuse to sign up.

My current favorite of the mix-tape sites is 8tracks.

Here’s our third mix.  25 great alt. county songs you’ve probably never heard.  Probably the best mix I’ve ever rolled.

Enjoy.  Share.  Tell your friends.
