Some Music

Back in 2007, as I was preparing for the WBC, I decided I wanted to do something interesting with the music.  I’m guessing a few of you have probably heard the music I ended up with but I thought I’d post up something else.

I have a weak spot for a childish mashup, and so I got in touch with a DJ whose mixes I like and asked him for 15 minutes of music for a coffee competition.  I didn’t give much other instruction and I am very grateful for what he sent though it turned out to be a bit too coffee heavy for practical use.

Still – it is a bit of fun, and a diverting and silly 15 minutes of music.

Coffee Mix

Check out some of his other mixes here.

On a sidenote – if anyone can name the entire tracklist (and I really don’t expect anyone to) then I’ll send them a load of coffee.

    I used the Frank Sinatra track in my set last year, didn’t do me a lot of good mind you!

    Violent Femmes, Prince, Beastie Boys, Audioslave, Bee Gee’s (Java Talking?!), The Strokes, Walker Brothers, Macy Gray, Blur… that’s probably not even half of them though.

    There’s a Danish DJ and rapper called Per V who’s biggest hit was called Black Power and was all about his love for coffee. He’s currently doing a session of coffee music with over 100 songs! You can check it out here (in Danish): http://coffeeroad.dk/hvadgoervi/mokkamusik

    That mix made me laugh. I cannot imagine competing to that mix. However it did remind me of a song one of my friends from Florida sent me. Taylor the Latte Boy. I hope it brings as much laughter to you as it did to me. As far as music to compete to for me. I don’t know that it gets much better than Kaki King or Jon Brion.

    Im new here at your site and subscribe to your feed at once. This is a very unique blog as I can say. And one more, there is no Coffee contest or something (I think) here at my place.
