Hey hey fellow Mixies! (We call ourselves that, right?) I was inspired to actually get on and make a "World Tour" mix this time due to the fact that I basically spend 3-6 months of any calendar year outside of the good ol' US of A. So pardon my tardiness, & let's get to it shall we? (Warning, due to said theme, I took the liberty of making this mix as ethno-tastic as possible.)
1.Son of a Lion OST- Leaving the Workshop
2.Guided By Voices- As We Go Up, We Go Down
3.Coconut Records- West Coast: Dedicated to my bb grl Viv. :(
4.Cat Steves- Wild World
5.Asha Bhosle-Dum Maro Dum: The Subcontinent's go-to tune for getting high to, or so I would imagine. Not like I know from experience, or anything.
6.The Ramones- California Sun
7.The Kominas- Chaku!
8.Wall of Voodoo- Mexican Radio
9.The Modern Lovers-Modern World: Put down the cigarette, & drop outta BU.
10.Marie Laforet-Mon Ami Mon Amour: Buy a beret and try to convey a sexy, disaffected je ne sais quoi
11.Beirut-Postcards from Italy
12.Lata Mangeshkar-Aa Jaane Jaa: Just close your eyes and imagine this song screeching on an ancient record player as you sit in a seedy cafe in some developing world hole-in-the-wall waiting for a big "deal" to go down. You know the one. Avoid the first briefcase, it's a decoy filled with scorpions.
13.Patti Smith- Redondo Beach
14.Fun Boy Three- Our Lips Are Sealed (Urdu Version): A very recent discovery of mine, found while trolling for records on ebay.
15.They Might Be Giants-Istanbul
16.Kraftwerk-Das Model
17. M.I.A.-World Town: I know, I know- M.I.A. is supposed to be so over, but if I ever lead a revolution, my battle cry will totally be this song's titular refrain.
18.The Buzzcocks-Late for the Train: You've got the right briefcase, you fool- what are you waiting for? Run!
19.Broken Social Scene-Passport Radio
20. Carla Bruni-Quelqu'un m'a dit
21.Son of a Lion OST-Niaz Runs Away (Buchmann Remix):
22.The Clash- Rock the Casbah
23. The Cure-Killing an Arab: What does this song thing it is? Operation Iraqi Freedom? Zing! (This joke © 2004.)
24.Sex Pistols-Holiday in the Sun
25.The Velvet Underground-European Son
26.Phoenix-Long Distance Call:
27. Tears for Fears- Everybody Wants to Rule the World: Because let's face it, the central goal of travel is laying the groundwork for world domination, right? What, you guys don't consider the planet a giant Risk board?
28.Khalid- Didi (live): You and the briefcase, successfully cruising away on a Sheik's luxury party yacht as angry henchmen shake their fists impotently at you from the shore.
29. King Khan & The Shrines- Que Lindo Sueño: Au revoir mon petit!
