Hi, here’s a little background on my choices for The Under 3 mix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Wire – It’s So Obvious [0:53]
\nA nice, fast song off their first album, Pink Flag. And it’s under one minute! Delightful.<\/p>\n

Pere Ubu – I Will Wait [1:47]
\nI finally get a Pere Ubu song on a mix! This is a nice poppy-yet-skronky song off their second album, Dub Housing.<\/p>\n

Commodores – Machine Gun [2:41]
\nI had a pretty serious soul and funk awakening a year or so back, during which time I first heard this song. This is a great instrumental track off their album of the same name. Listen closely near the end — there’s a great funky riff the Beastie Boys sampled for their song “Hey Ladies”.<\/p>\n

Bo Diddley – Mona (I Need You Baby) [2:22]
\nI don’t really like a lot of schmaltzy love songs, but that doesn’t mean I don’t like love songs as a rule. Take this song, for example. I can’t think of a better song expressing a sense of longing — sexual, emotional and otherwise — than this.<\/p>\n

The Clean – Franz Kafka At The Zoo [1:58]
\nAs I have mentioned elsewhere, I really dig this New Zealand band. While they are a great pop band, they would also play around and experiment. This is kind of a spooky-sounding song off their album Unknown Country.<\/p>\n

Cat Stevens – Tea For The Tillerman [1:01]
\nI think I have Cat Steven’s Greatest Hits on vinyl, so I know “Moonshadow”, “Peace Train”, etc., but I owe my knowledge of this song, off the album of the same name, to the great BBC show Extras<\/a>, by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. The song would play at the end of each episode, and it really fit the mood of the show. Thank you, Extras!<\/p>\n

Robyn Hitchcock – My Favourite Buildings [2:50]
\nOne of my favorites (or favourites, rather). This is off the first album I bought by the man, I Often Dream Of Trains.<\/p>\n

The Champs – Tequila [2:11]
\nThis is one of my all-time favorite songs. I can’t help but smile when I hear it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
