I’ve just posted up my hastily thrown together commentary on my selections.
The Band – Orange Juice Blues – This is a bonus track from the 2000 reissue of Music From Big Pink, one of my all-time favorite albums.
Cocteau Twins – Orange Appled – Had to add something from my favorite band (besides The Feelies, of course).
The Fall – Hot Cake – A fun song from the most recent Fall album.
Pink Floyd – Candy and a Currant Bun – from the 1967 Singles Sampler containing the A and B sides of the first 3 singles. (Could have chosen Apples and Oranges too. Maybe I should have to enhance my orange-heavy mix.)
Rain Parade – Cheap Wine – This is from Beyond the Sunset (live at Shibuya Hall, Tokyo).
Stereolab – Emperor Tomato Ketchup – I’ve been listening to Stereolab a lot again lately. Love them.
Tom Waits – Eggs and Sausage – From Nighthawks at the Diner. This one has a really funny intro.
Yo La Tengo – Orange Song – More oranges. Fast and raucous to end the mix.
Finally, here are my comments!
