Mix of the Week (now with less bits): Old 97’s
Published by Becky S July 27th, 2004 in artsTo celebrate today’s release of the Old 97’s new album, Drag It Up, this week’s mix is a compilation of the band’s older material.
From Wreck Your Life:
- Victoria
- Bel Air
- Doreen
From Too Far To Care:
- Timebomb
- Streets of Where I’m From
- Barrier Reef
- Four Leaf Clover
From Fight Songs:
- Murder or a Heart Attack
- Valentine
From Satellite Rides:
- Up the Devil’s Pay
- Designs on You
Some of my favorite lyrics are from Old 97’s songs. Someday, a man will tell me he’s a serial lady killer, and I will have the pleasure of informing him that I’m already dead (right before stomping a mud hole in his heart).
The mix is here. As always, the permanent link is in the “featuring” section of the right-hand sidebar.
PS At the suggestion of Tintil, I’ve made these mp3s with a lower bit rate to help with the continuing streaming problems. The tracks on this mix have a bit rate of 80, except for Barrier Reef, which has 64. I don’t really know what this means, but maybe it will help. If you still have trouble with the mp3s, blame the script kiddies who keep messing up the internet.

I have been really enjoying your mixes…is there a way that I can get the actual mp3 files? Besides the obvious “Just buy the CDs”…I am a cheap bastard.
DannyBoy, sometimes I get the mp3s from other websites. If that’s the case, I’ll try to list the URL (if I still remember it). However, most of the tunes are from my CD collection, and I’d just feel bad posting the mp3s for people to download.
