Splotchy's Contribution To Numb3r5

Here's a discussion of my selections for the Numb3r5 mix, Volume 14 of the Green Monkey Music Project.


Four Thousand Days - Luna
The best song off their later album The Days Of Our Nights. If you can resist singing the chorus "Remember, remember..." out loud when you hear it, you're a stronger person than I.




Every 1's A Winner - Hot Chocolate
MizSplotchy introduced me to this band when we first started dating. She had a 70's music compilation that had the wonderful "You Sexy Thing" on it. If you're not familiar with them, they are a great, funky band worth checking out.




From A Motel 6 #1 - Yo La Tengo
A nice instrumental track from their two-disc outtakes/rarities collection Genius + Love = Yo La Tengo






106 Beats That - Wire
I dip once again into Wire's debut album Pink Flag for a short, sweet track.






Expresso 2222 - Gilberto Gil
The title song from a great album. Wonderful, high-energy song.







The Thousandth and Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole - Captain Beefheart
The last song off the last album of Captain Beefheart.



There was a gurgling and googling heard
A tenth of the way up the pole.
Approaching was a small child
With Statue of Liberty doll.
