UNEMPLOYED MIX TAPE


Well, I am currently unemployed.  The university where I teach opted not to renew my contract due to budgetary issues so I am sitting around with five days growth of beard, eating like a pig, trying to stay positive.  I have had some interviews as well as some coming up and I hope to have a new position soon.

I wrote about prior unemployment experiences here http://rgdinmalaysia.blogspot.com/2013/01/unemployment-memories.html

In the meantime, here’s a song mix I made in grooveshark.com for listening pleasure....All N All and March of the Gherkins share brass parts and fade out exactly the same way , In My Life and Tramp share keyboard parts albeit different speeds which Separate Beds also builds on melodically.  Listen to The Byrds and The Smiths back to back (Hope to blog more about Gene Clark soon) and the last three songs complement each other in meaning and sound....Time, the measurement and spending of it, is the theme here.  

SPRING HEELED JIM – Morrissey
THE BALLAD OF EL GOODO – Big Star
TOYMAKER – The Association
TO CUT A LONG STORY SHORT – Spandau Ballet
ALL N ALL – Al Green
MARCH OF THE GHERKINS – Madness
BIG FOOL OF THE YEAR – George Jones
TRAMP – The Stranglers
IN MY LIFE – The Beatles
SEPARATE BEDS – Squeeze
IF THIS WORLD WERE MINE – Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell
TEDDY PICKER – Arctic Monkeys
SHE DON’T CARE ABOUT TIME – The Byrds
ONE IN A HUNDRED – Gene Clark
THESE THINGS TAKE TIME – The Smiths
FOOT OF THE MOUNTAIN – Paul Weller
SHADOW OF THE SUN – Paul Weller
SOMEBODY’S WATCHING YOU – Sly and the Family Stone
BOTH ENDS BURNING – Roxy Music
PARTY GIRL – Elvis Costello
