Over In About An Hour: Vol. 3 (boom vs unboom mixtape)
Over the past week, the blogging community (Robert Scoble, Jason Calacanis, Michael Arrington, Matthew Ingram, Valleywag, et al) has been “booming” over the drama surrounding Amanda Congdon’s departure from Rocketboom. In fact, unofficial lipreading sources say that Zinedine Zidane and Marco Materazzi were chatting about it prior to the now famous headbutt at the World Cup Final.
I’ve decided to join the fray by dedicating Volume 3 of the Over In About An Hour mixtape series to Amanada and Andrew Baron. The playlist titles capture some of the back and forth of the past few weeks. All the tracks can be found on. You can hear the Volume 3 (boomed vs. unboomed) mixtape here if you are a YMU subscriber. The tracklist is:
- It’s A Hit (from the album More Adventurous) – Rilo Kiley
- What New York Couples Fight About (from the album Charango) – Morcheeba
- Nobody Move, Nobody Get Hurt (from the album With Love And Squalor) – We Are Scientists
- They Put Her In The Movies (from the album Bliss Descending) – Jason Falkner
- Bad As They Seem (from the album Everything I Long For) – Hayden
- Brother’s Gonna Work It Out (from the album The Mack) – Willie Hutch
- Love & Appreciate (from the album Murray’s Revenge) – Murs
- Divine Intervention (from the album Girlfriend [2 Disc Reissue Edition]) – Matthew Sweet
- Friends You Learn To Hate (from the album Sweet Release) – The Flashing Lights
- Before You Leave (from the album Clayton Park) – Thurst Hermit
- On To You (from the album Shine A Light) – The Constantines
- Let The Cool Goddess Rust Away (from the album Clap Your Hands Say Yeah) – Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
- Unemployable (from the album Pearl Jame) – Pearl Jam
- Time Is Tight (from the album Stax Gold) – Booker T. & The MG’s
- Back From The Dead (from the album Down In Albion) – Babyshambles
Feedback as always is welcomed. I know there are hundreds of other songs out there that would have fit but I limited the playlist to an hour’s worth of tunes.
PS. Andrew and Amanda – if you’re reading this, please enjoy it with a smile as it is intended to lighten up a rather public and difficult time for you both.
