Pure Evil

With bated breath, everybody playing Patriside's Evil Music Mix exchange has been waiting for this day. Last month, each of us made a bootleg CD of our favorite, most evilest music we could find. But we did not include a playlist; it was up to the recipient to take a stab at what was on there.

According to the rules, today (the day of ultimate evil, 6/6/06) we post the playlist. And then troll around the blogs on the above link, looking for what must be the playlist we got in exchange.

The mix I received was really good. It leans quite a bit toward the country-crossover genre, which is foreign to me. But dang, those crossing-over country folks sure do know their evil. Some great stuff on there. I don't know any of their names so it's going to be challenging finding my benefactor. I think I recognize Bob Segar on track one, and there's that Johnny Cash / Nine Inch Nails song. Two good leads there.

So without further ado, Beancounter's Evil Music Mix:

1. Barry McGuire – Eve of Destruction

2. Disturbed – Land of Confusion

3. The Who – Behind Blue Eyes

4. Filter – Skinny

5. Ray Charles – Hit The Road Jack

6. Wilderness – Arkless

7. Mountain Goats – No Children

8. Some angry woman (on an answering machine, whose voice got immortalized forever on the internet) – Messin’  With My Man

9. Local H – Toxic

10. Pink Floyd – Have a Cigar

11. Poe – Terrible Thought

12. Radiohead – Knives Out

13. Joe Strummer – Get Down Moses

14. Violent Femmes – Color Me Once

15. Eagles – Witchy Woman

16. Wolf Parade – You Are A Runner

17. The Who – Won’t Get Fooled Again

18. Dropkick Murphys - Amazing Grace

This mix is a reflection of my life: seventies rock (BB's influence) mixed with 90's and new millenium randomness (my own foraging ways).

In my opinion, the opposite of evil is redemption; hence the butt-kicking "Amazing Grace", which I think I originally picked up from Ricky.

Those who know me well will marvel that I limited myself to one Radiohead song.

I'm loathe to post the music here. Anybody wants a copy of the CD, drop me an e-mail. I'll just send you one. I mean, I forgot your birthday. It's the least I can do.

So that's the mix. Great game!

What a great mix! :)
I ALMOST used Disturbed's Forsaken, but changed my mind at the last minute.

This was such fun for me!

Wow, that's a great mix! I didn't get yours, though, and I'm still searching for the culprit!

What fun, eh? :-)

Hell yes, I'll take a copy... lots of artists I've never heard before, always a good thing.

I hope you'll play again; I'm posting info on the next mixmania! in a few days.

What about Dark Side of the Moon? I like the two Who entries. Never thought of Pete and Roger as children of the beast but it does make sense.

Fabulous mix!
