Day 5(kinda) Hair of the dog

I got to thinking about mixtapes and hangovers...there really isn't a time I don't want to listen to music no matter what state I am in. I like all sorts (though I must admit the general audience "pop" music does not pass my ears real often and I prefer it that way) There are alot of great drinking songs, drunk songs and partyin songs, but songs to listen to whilst hungover is the challenge. So here is what I came up with....if I were to truly put it to disc I would add a few more, but you get the idea :)))

Great funky instrumental by The Martinis

Hungover

Dakota by the Stereophonics xx

The Rolling Stones- Moonlight Mile 

The folk-rock band from North Carolina: The Avett Brothers

When I drink

Atmosphere outta Minneapolis with Free Fallin

The New Pornographers with My Slow descent into Alcoholism  

In closing the legendary Tom Waits

Drunk on the Moon

Day 3

Continuing the theme.....Heroin in music... this is Blur, the song is Beetlebum, the video shows Gorillaz and I think it just works great....Damon Albarn is the singer for both bands.

Unlike some heroin influenced songs...Damon Albarn confirms this song is about his experience with the drug...it is a cool sexy, sleepy sort of tune :)


Here...the offical video....

The song was first recorded in 1996 by British band Blur and appears first on the album Charmless Man, then Beetlebum (1997), then Song 2 (1997)

Day 2~~~~

The La's There She Goes

Home studio Version

Cleaner studio version...think I prefer the rougher home version ;)

The La's are from Liverpool, England they formed around 1984. They released one full studio album and several "best of","lost tunes" and compilation albums...they have had many many players (more than 20!), breakups and reunions..you have to wonder if the basis of this song is the reason....

The song was first heard on La Folie in Nov of 1981

, and later on an album called Feline, it was featured on the bonus tracks

Originally released in the US in 1981 as a single, then again  in the UK in '82 with Liberty Records. The Stranglers hail from Surrey, England...
