The Song of the Week is a proper classic from at least 25 years ago. And it's one of Roboter's favorite songs even as he's heard the song God knows HOW MANY TIMES playing GTA:VC [grand theft auto - vice city]. In any case, this is for him...
"Hip Hop Be Bop" [12" version] - Man Parrish
...and for myself, I chose this. After all, this is going out to the id10t's that think I'm weaker than I look. To them, two words: FCUK OFF. Everyone else, feel free to join me in cranking this up a good few notches. Yes, a first here in the Underground: TWO Songs of the Week for this week! [And yes, I absolutely love this song. Seriously.]
"A.K.A. I-D-I-O-T" - The Hives
And, as next week is Halloweek, here's a preview for next week's Random 20, which will be the 80's version of the Indie StarMix I made earlier this week. Except, in the usual tradition of the indie/alternative/gothic self that I am, you can expect Siouxsie, the Order, the Division, the Boys, Mr. Ant, and these two bands among the unique for the grand Halloween tradition:
"Jumping Someone Else's Train" - The Cure
"Bela Lugosi's Dead" - Bauhaus
And adding another proper classic from the Old-School Indie Intelligence files, this might also make the roster for Halloween this year. Sunday afternoon Erik had the Afternoon Version of my favorite radio program, Sunday Night Vinyl, and his track list for Sunday... well, let's just say it was the best SNV in practically ages. Not that every SNV was the awesomeness, but this past Sunday was truly THE Awesomeness!! He played this particular classic [as well as The Cure's "Jumping Someone Else's Train" which I just posted a moment ago], and I was pleasantly thrilled. So I think I could add this to the Halloween roster this year, no?
"Headhunter" - Front 242
The same with this track, one of the great goth classics too. I'm actually considering this as well for the Halloween mix. Because HEY! you can't have Halloween without the proper touch of goth. And out of all the songs this band's done, this is my favorite. God I love this song.
"More" - The Sisters of Mercy
And I think that will do it for this week! I had Carillon practice yesterday and, after a rather successful go at it Sunday, I'm almost ready for this Sunday upcoming. My main concern however is the whimsical concept of something properly termed Operation Doctor Scarf!!
Otherwise, enjoy the tunage, and keep out of trouble until the next round...
