DJ Dabble is back!

 


For your listening pleasure, please enjoy DJ Dabble Mix 2, now available at the iTunes music store (or just ask and I'll burn you a copy for free...).

This eclectic offering includes some New Wave favorites, recent reinterpretations and songs derivative of that era, and, finally, some contemporary cheesiness to round things out.

Again, iTunes arbritrarily reorders the songs, so please note that The Dabbler's preferred sequence for a maximized audio experience is as follows:

1. Love Will Tear us Apart, Nouvelle Vague
2. Since U Been Gone, Kelly Clarkson
3. Somewhere Only We Know, Keane
4. Let Go, Frou Frou
5. Shellshock, New Order
6. Breathe Me, Sia
7. Come On Closer, Jem
8. Black Is the Color of My True Love's Hair, Nina Simone (Verve Remixed version ideal, but not available on iTunes)
9. Re-Offender, Travis
10. Spanish Lament, The Durutti Column
11. Prayer for the Dying, Seal
12. Transatlanticism, Death Cab for Cutie
13. How Soon is Now (live), Morrisey
14. Numb/Encore, Jay-Z & Linkin-Park

Prayer for the Dying? How old are you? You must be going for the entire 18-80 year old spectrum between that and Since U Been Gone.

How young are you? There are songs significantly older on this mix than Seal's ballad. Have you not heard of Morrisey or New Order, or do you just have a thing against Seal or his super-ugly Klum-baby? Even if it's from the 1990s "Prayer" is still a good song.

Morrisey and New Order are still hip with the kids now. On the other hand, Seal is doing condo promotion shows, I kid you not.

So I guess you won't be too excited when I include Bell Biv DeVoe on my next compilation? I think they're doing crack house promotion shows...

You are funny, Dabbler. But I must be too young, too old, or too out of it because I don't even know who that is!

"That girl is Poison...never trust a big butt and a smile...that girl is poison..." HOW CAN YOU NOT KNOW THIS SONG?
