[insert name here] cd sweepstakes

nice_try.jpg

here is the preface:
hoover, lisa, stephanie, and I have decided that another compilation disk should be created. in the same likeness of the infamous WTW (white trash wednesday) cd created many years back. the major differences? WTW is early 90's rock (e.g. Poison, Motley Crue, Firehouse, etc.), while the still untitled 2nd disk will be late 90's (e.g.. Bush, seven Mary three, etc.).

this is what i ask of you:
1. i need help coming up with this track list. i am not going to provide my list hoping that its absence will not steer you in any particular direction. just drop ideas in the comments, as many or as few as you can. if i use your song, you get a copy of the disk!!!

2. i need a name for said masterpiece. something cleaver. i use your title, you get a copy!!!

3. **bonus** if you can correctly identify the album cover at the top of this post you will receive a copy of the completed disk!!! hoover excluded on this one due to the fact that i know he has seen it in the last 2 days.

legal disclaimer:
limit one prize per person. i do not have to know you, but you do need to provide contact info to me to send you the copy. offer ends when i dont want to do it anymore. i reserve the rights to change the rules on a whim.

Comments

matchbox 20: "hang"

bush :: machinehead
live :: i alone
pearl jam :: alive
alice in chains :: would?
stp :: dead and bloated
nirvana :: lithium
soundgarden :: spoonman

shall i continue?

collective soul: "the world I know"

i guess alot of that is early 90s "grunge"...

it's better than seven mary three tho

i am not sure the "grunge" is the ere i am looking for here. but i will make that executive decision later. keep them coming

The cd cover in the picture is Live - mental jewelry

does it still count if I waited till dwayne posted a picture of the whole album on his blog?

hoover is a jackass. i will hook up Brandon #2 for being honest.

i was wearing doc martins and listening to punk/ska in the late 90s...

looking for stuff like this?

Santa Monica - Everclear
Give it Away - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Hey Man, Nice Shot - Filter

ok - we have the mistry albumn identified, some song options, we just need a name for the disk.

you should call it:

the mistry cleaver albumn

Golf Club Possee: GCP? warrenton kids get it!

that would fit the time frame of the songs. GCP 4 Life

you could make it an iMix, go to iTunes, open the music store and click iMix

too bad you don't get a cut...greedy bastards

You can get a cut, sign up to be an iTunes affilate through LinkShare. A quick google search would have told you that.

Should the choices be mainstream or obscure? While I think lithium is a great track, I would go more with Come As You Are.

Is it a grunge only disc? How about Korn - Blind?

Anyway, my generic list follows:

Alice in Chains: Rooster
SilverChair: Tomorrow
Soul Asylu: Runaway Train
Toadies: Possum Kingdom
Weezer: Undone
STP: Interstate Love Song
Ben Folds Five: Brick
Green Day: Longview
Temple of the Dog: Hunger Strike
Spin Doctors: Jimmie Olson's Blues
Semisonic: Fascinating New Thing

I got more but I have to get some work done.

"You can get a cut, sign up to be an iTunes affilate through LinkShare. A quick google search would have told you that."

well a quick read of the comments would have told you he's not really looking for grunge ;)

you miss me...

nice pull on Temple of the Dog: Hunger Strike that may have earned you a autographed cd. by me of course.

i re-read the comments, i realized although not excluded, the inclusion of grunge would be an executive decision.

what about:

Presidents of The United State of America :: Lump

psssh.. Lump?!? Peaches is so much a better track.

How about:
Oasis: Wonderwall
The La's: There she goes
Chumbawamba: Tubthumper (1997)
Sugar Ray: Fly (1997)
OMC: How Bizarre (1996)
Smashing Pumpkins: Cherub Rock
Gin Blossoms: Hey Jealousy
Blues Traveler: Hook

okay.. after next meeting more.

trying we are getting bop-y. definates so far:

Bush: Glycerine
Live: ??
Temple of the Dog: Hunger Strike
Pearl Jam: ??

a bit edgier...

glycerine is such a chick song...i say go with everything zen or machinehead

live :: selling the drama
pearl jam :: Go

winner with live :: selling the drama

bop-y? WTF does that mean?

"Pearl Jam: Ederly Woman behind the counter in a small town" is where it's at.

or

Pearl Jam: Bugs


winner with Pearl Jam: Ederly Woman behind the counter in a small town.

bop-y is like Chumbawamba, Sugar Ray, OMC

more pop than rock IMO

bop-y? WTF does that mean?

"Pearl Jam: Ederly Woman behind the counter in a small town" is where it's at.

or

Pearl Jam: Bugs

You could also include some of my harder hits like:
Sepultura: Jasco

or maybe something like Spacehog: In the meantime
Afghan Wigs: Step into the light


hmm.. dunno how the top part of that comment was still in the comment box..

haha. i typed box.

twice.

Oh..

Radiohead: Fake plastic trees.

can't believe i just thought of that one..

Oh yeah..
Metallica: Whereever I may roam (or Enter Sandman both were great IMHO).

i totally slept on Metalica!! Good catch...

Sublime: Wrong Way (or almost any song off of the "Sublime" cd)

Counting Crows: Hanginaround

maybe some smashing pumpkins or dave matthews band (so much to say?)

oh...and Chumbawamba is ghey

I already listed Smashing Pumpkins.

Counting Crows fits the no bop-y comment that #1 has made.

"bop-y is like Chumbawamba, Sugar Ray, OMC"

you think counting crows fits in with those? I disagree.

executive decision:

Counting Crows:: "Big Yellow Taxi", "Hangin Around" = Bop-y

"Mr. Jones" could be argued either way...

counting crows...more like counting hoes. get it, hoes, because it's girlie music...

get it?

chumbawamba is thuper brokeback

big yellow taxi was not released late 90s and it's a cover.

Mr. (BT)Jones was released in 1993...which isn't late 90s. I guess counting crows is out.

"winner with Pearl Jam: Ederly Woman behind the counter in a small town."

when you make my copy, please omit that song. do you want this cd to be fun or not? i mean...it's on ok song, nothing special and a bit low key for 90s ROCK disc.

i say ditch the elderly bag and pick a PJ song with a pulse.

if you do want a lifeless PJ song on the disc, i suggest Yellow Ledbetter over that Elderly Slut

please consider something more upbeat tho. Go, Even Flow, Animal, Why Go, Spin the Black Circle....c'mon there is better out there for this disc

So i suppose Bush:Glycerine, Live:Lightning Crashes, RHCP:Under the Bridge, Alice n Chains:Rooster, Filter:Picture are all out due to low tempo?

Metallica:ONE will likely kick it off while PJ:Yellow Ledbetter (Live version) will most likely conclude the mystical, musical journey of the late 90's

This disc is becoming like Hoover, all woman.

I just did realize that you said late '90s and not early 90's like I've been trying to stick with.

Late '90s is all pop-rock. Grunge died when Cobain did and as did that genre of music. 1995-1996 became the start of the Alternative movement (which generally was mainstream and not very alternative). DMB was listed as alternative which is just fucking retarded.

i was thinking more of the music during your jr/sr. year of highschool (95/96) and freshman yr of college (97). that era. for Brandon#2 that would be more in the Limp Bizkit time frame. ah kids...

but try not to get too wrapped up in the logistics of it all. i think everyone understands what we are trying to achieve here.

Primitive Radio Gods: Standing Outside a Broken Phone Booth With Money in My Hand

OK, so i be like Ice and take it on teh chin for this one, but some must haves,
All about the benjamin's - puffy/foo fighters
and the anti-rock song
Juicy - Notorius BIG

you can't have a ninties CD with out Juicy. and if we are talking W-ton songs for our era,
What Would You Say - Dave (over it but essential for a true rundown of us

this cd must have at the very least 1 rage song
