Monday Mix: The Whole Shebang!

This week's Monday Mix is a guest playlist from the hosts of The Whole Shebang, a minute-by-minute podcast about the cult glamtastic 1998 film that starred Ewan McGregor and Christian Bale, among others. Hosted by Jenny Anckorn (writer, Untaken and Mike Grasso (of blog-recommended podcast Hold My Order, Terrible Dresser), the podcast deconstructs Velvet Goldmine minute by minute, delving into the culture and politics of the era as well as whatever else might come up. They're currently in the mid-90 minute mark, so you have plenty to catch up on. The playlist reflects some favorite songs from the movie, from the era, and so on. As someone who had his T. Rex phase not too long after this movie came out, I'm looking forward to throwing this playlist on later today.

The podcast updates on weekday mornings, and you can find them on their website, on Facebook, and on Twitter!

Monday Mix: Electronic/Non-Electronic Collaborations

With the new DJ Shadow album out this week, the truly great song "Nobody Speaks" featuring Run the Jewels gets an album release. There's a long, great history of electronic acts collaborating with non-electronic artists, so I figured this would be a good time to highlight some of my favorites. Yeah, everyone remembers Noel Gallagher and The Chemical Brothers, but you might have forgotten the soundtrack album to Spawn or some of the more recent collaborations, so this should be a fun mix to kick off your week.

Monday Mix: It's Our Birthday!

In the spring of 2013, Ken was finishing up with The Music Moms and we finally got to talking about doing a little music blog on the side on our own. It's become a nice little consistent project for both of us (even if Ken is really pulling the majority of the weight), and we appear to have a nice little dedicated group of readers so far. We really enjoy doing it and we hope you enjoy it, too!

We officially launched three years ago at some point last week. We thought it would be fun to make a quick mix of ten songs each of us found and love directly because of the blog. Give us feedback on some of your favorites - maybe if we get enough, we can have a new mix next week!

Now, just to get @ifitstooloud on Twitter for good... Until then, here's the tracklisting:

Ken's Picks:

Marlon Williams - "Hello, Miss Lonesome"
Mothers - "It Hurts Until It Doesn't"
Margo Price - "Hurtin' (On the Bottle)"
Big Thief - "Masterpiece"
Hop Along - "The Knock"
Shopping - "In Other Words"
Rayland Baxter - "Mr Rodriguez"
Ransom Pier - "Turn Your Head"
Bruising - "Emo Friends"
Julia Jacklin - "Pool Party"

Jeff's Picks:

Field Mouse - "Asteroid"
Jedi Mind Tricks - "Poison in the Birth Water"
HAERTS - "No One Needs to Know"
The Red Headed Indian/Kingsbury - "Please Come Home"
Chumped - "December is the Longest Month"
Kingsley Flood - "Set Me Off"
The Jazz June - "After the Earthquake"
Shakey Graves featuring Esme Patterson - "Dearly Departed"
Benjamin Booker - "Violent Shiver"
The Muffs - "Up and Down Around"

Monday Mix: Meet the Presidents!

If there's one thing we can assure you this year, it's that there will not be an Official Blog Endorsement in the presidential race this year. While Ken and I are united against Donald Trump, that's where it ends, but one place we both have bipartisan cooperation on is weird songs about/concerning the highest office in the United States of America. (And one song by The Presidents of the United States of America because of course). Enjoy this playlist as you celebrate the American Presidency, or, in the case of a few artists here, absolutely don't celebrate it.

Monday Mix and Song Debut: The Dandy Warhols - "You Are Killing Me"

I'm a big Dandy Warhols fan. At some points, they might be in my top five bands of all time, and at others they do some really strange stuff that doesn't seem to make a lot of sense (looking at you, Odditorium). So hearing this new song from the band that was sent over to us, what's fascinating about it is the straightforwardness of the whole affair. On one hand, it feels like a lot of bands could churn this out (which is something you can't say about "Not If You Were The Last Junkie on Earth," for a contrast), but this still has a very compelling attitude and structure to it that I've kept going back to.

They have a new album on a new record label coming out later this year, and I'm absolutely looking forward to it. For now, though, consider Monday Mix an introduction to one of the more underrated bands out there:

Monday Mix: Jeff Meets The Beatles

Last week, I canvassed you all to send me some Beatles tracks, and you absolutely delivered to the tune of a collected 75 or so unique tracks.

Man, you guys really love your Beatles.

The playlist below constitutes the 25 tracks that were the most unique and that, at the time, I didn't recognize (and "Paperback Writer" because it's a good song I did know). I should send a special shout-out to co-blogged Ken who sent his own 11 song playlist, and friend Gabe Rollins who sent an enormous 50 song playlist that I'll have to dig into sometime soon.

As for what was sent over for this specific project? It turns out that I like the more experimental Beatles stuff a lot less than I thought I would, for one. "A Day In the Life" in particular was sent a few times, and, well, that was a bit of a slog for me. The "Write Songs With Indian Instruments" era that I dabbled in as well didn't quite work for me, either, but I'd imagine that's true for a lot of people.

Overall, though? I suppose I appreciate what's going on a little better even if I don't know if I found any new songs I ultimately loved. The hits are the hits for a reason, and perhaps I might feel differently had I been exposed to this earlier as opposed to finding a lot more experimental psych rock on my own, thus making this a little less revolutionary? I don't know.

Still, a fun little experiment. Later this spring I think we'll try this crowdsourced mix thing again. The mix in question is below:

Monday Mix: Best Songs of 2015

It was a solid year for music, and a lot of really great songs came from the madness. Below are my 40 favorite songs of 2015 (think of it as my own personal Discover Weekly Yearly), and, below that, my yearly playlist of every single song I loved. I hope you find something new to explore in the lean release weeks.

Monday Mix: Songs About Star Wars

With the release of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens coming up this week, I had this bizarre urge to listen to some Star Wars music besides just "The Imperial March" over and over again. This birthed the If It's Too Loud "Songs About Star Wars" mix. I tried to avoid songs that simply make one reference to Star Wars and aim for songs actually about Star Wars. Of course there is some nerdcore (MC Chris), forgotten 90s bands (2 Skinnee J's), 90s bands that are still with us (Blink-182, Presidents of the United States of America), bands you would never think of doing Star Wars covers (Queens of the Stone Age, Ash), and "Weird Al," of course. It's perfect to listen to while you're at work waiting for it to end so you can head out to the theater, on your way to the theater, to avoid figuring out name mix up games in the theater, etc. 

Monday Mix: James Bond Themes, Ranked

I am super excited about the new James Bond movie coming out on Friday. I've been a fan of the series for as long as I can remember, Daniel Craig is probably my favorite Bond at this point, and Sceptre is basically something I am heavily looking forward to seeing as soon as I can.

What else is great about the Bond movies are the theme songs. Yeah, some are pretty rough, but others are actually really solid. So what better way to present an often-rare Monday Mix than via a completely subjective ranking of the Bond themes. The countdown, as well as the Spotify playlist, is worst to first. Enjoy!


23) Gladys Knight - "License to Kill": One of the few Bond themes not on Spotify (thus the tribute in the playlist and the YouTube link here), the fault of this one is how uninspired it sounds as well as how poorly it holds up over time. Gladys Knight deserved better.

22) Madonna - "Die Another Day": I typically look fondly upon Madonna's full dive into electronica at the turn of the century. There is nothing iconic or interesting or even worthwhile about this theme, though, and feels woefully out of place both for the era and the series.

21) Rita Coolidge - "All Time High": A lot of people look fondly on this song, but as for me? Dull, dull, dull.

20) Sheena Easton - "For Your Eyes Only": Another song not on Spotify, but I think we're all a little better off because of it. Just bad dated 80s stuff.

19) a-ha - "The Living Daylights"
18) Sheryl Crow - "Tomorrow Never Dies"
17) Garbage - "The World is Not Enough: In all three of these cases, it's the wrong group doing the wrong song. Sheryl Crow was pretty solid at times, especially in this era, as was Garbage, and yet these songs overall just failed to connect.

16) Sam Smith - "Writing's On the Wall": This is the Sceptre theme, and it's a tough act to follow after Adele's theme. Sam Smith doesn't really have the right voice for a Bond theme, I think, even though I understand why he was chosen and what the point of it all was. This is more disappointing than unfortunate.

15) Chris Cornell - "You Know My Name": The Casino Royale theme, it works in context given how much the Craig Bond is a reboot of sorts, but it's overall a thematic error and, frankly, not a great song by any means.

14) Tina Turner - "Goldeneye"
13) Shirley Bassey - "Moonraker": Tina Turner teamed up with U2 to try and do her best Shirley Bassey, and her best Shirley Bassey is not nearly as good as Shirley Bassey's worst of her three themes. That should tell us something.

12) Nancy Sinatra - "You Only Live Twice"
11) Carly Simon - "Nobody Does it Better"
10) Lulu - "The Man With the Golden Gun": We're quickly moving into the better Bond themes, and both Carly Simon and Lulu do great ones that have a lot of iconic moments in them, but don't quite hit the heights you'd expect. Nancy Sinatra has possibly a better song, but I don't know if it's the better Bond theme.

9) Paul McCartney - "Live and Let Die": Sir Paul's theme is much higher energy than you might expect from a Bond theme, and it largely works. A lot of my personal perspective on this comes from the Guns N' Roses version, but the fact that it holds up this long after the original recording is a testament to how good it is.

8) Matt Monro - "From Russia With Love"
7) Shirley Bassey - "Goldfinger": These are both two of the more iconic takes on the Bond themes, and "Goldfinger" in particular is often the type of song you think of when you think of Bond themes. I very easily could have ranked this one higher.

6) Duran Duran - "A View to a Kill": While so many of the lower-tier songs are dated and exist solely within the era they were performed, "A View to a Kill" succeeds by keeping up with the era as well as retaining some of the iconic flair (most notably the Bond horns). I love this song. Fun fact: this is the only Bond theme to hit #1 on the United States Billboard charts.

5) Alicia Keys and Jack White - "Another Way to Die": The theme for Quantum of Solace, I love this take on the theme. It's different while still retaining a lot of the same ideas and themes throughout, and the mix of Keys and White is one that shouldn't work and does. This is absolutely a more divisive theme in the canon, but I firmly fall on the "this is brilliant" camp.

4) Adele - "Skyfall": Adele is absolutely going retro on this one, and it works. Easily the best modern theme, and it's not even close.

3) Shirley Bassey - "Diamonds Are Forever": Shirley Bassey is the iconic voice of the Bond themes, and I fully and completely see this as the theme I think of when I think Shirley Bassey Bond themes. The brass section is perfect, melody right on target, and the pacing just works. Definitely a top theme.

2) Tom Jones - "Thunderball": Is there any doubt? This has everything going for it, plus the right male voice for a Bond theme, plus it's actually still pretty funny in a few ways. It's hard to not see this as one of the great sung themes of the time.

1) John Barry - "On Her Majesty's Secret Service": Sometimes, when you have to find out what the best Bond themes are, you have to cheat a little. "Majesty's" is more the action theme to the film of the same name than the theme itself, which could either be considered the main Bond theme that begins this playlist or the Louis Armstrong love theme, but I absolutely think this needs to be considered as the top theme. It works too well, is too iconic, and, as we'll learn later this week, has been reinterpreted very well as well. When I think Bond? This is what I think of.

Monday Mix: Highlights from Hefner and Darren Hayman

I pulled up a playlist of Hefner/Darren Hayman songs on Sunday and forgot how much I really loved Hefner back in the day. While some of my favorites when I first got wind of the band were the more risque fare like "May God Protect Your Home" and "Seafaring," I still find myself going back to "Christian Girls," to "Hymn for the Cigarettes," to "She Can't Sleep No More" today. Hayman has transitioned into a fairly good solo career as well as a number of different collaborations, but this is definitely stuff you'll have wanted to hear if you haven't had the opportunity yet. Even as I was putting this quick post together, I was substituting different songs out to keep things under 20 songs.

Hopefully you find a couple gems to enjoy here.

Monday Mix: TT the Bears Memories

A couple weeks ago, Ken said goodbye to TT the Bears, the Cambridge rock club. While I don't make it to many shows these days, TT's has been my overwhelming favorite venue to see live music since I started going to live shows 15 years ago. I have a ton of great memories at TT's, and I figured a good tribute would be via a Monday Mix, especially since we haven't had one in a while.


* Snow Patrol - "Starfighter Pilot": I have been a fan of Snow Patrol since their Songs for Polarbears days, and their third album (the one with "Run") is where things really took off for them stateside. One of their first shows in their first major label tour brought them to TT's, which was maybe half-full and, if I remember correctly, didn't even have the band headlining. Within four years, I was watching Snow Patrol headline the Agannis Arena and they barely sounded like the band I fell in love with, but this show remains one of my all-time favorites at TT's. "Starfighter Pilot," by the way, remains one of my favorite songs, and I sort of annoyed Gary Lightbody by requesting this at every show before he broke down and played it. No regrets.

* The Reputation - "The Stars of Amateur Hour": An all-time favorite band of mine, they normally played The Middle East but they somehow got booked at TT's for one of their treks through the Northeast. It was one of their better performances, in my opinion, and was on a bill with Adam Green of The Moldy Peaches and Aaron Perrino of The Sheila Divine to round out one of the stranger bills in memory. The Reputation were always a good time, I struck up a friendship with a couple members that persists through this day, and that it was nearly 10 years ago since they broke up also breaks my brain a bit.

* Of Montreal - "My British Tour Diary": I have lost count as to how many times I saw Of Montreal at TT the Bears. The first time, Kevin Barnes's brother dressed up in an all-black bodysuit and acted like Kevin's brother. Another time, there were maybe 50 people there and much of the crowd just sat on the floor. When The Sunlandic Twins hit, however, everything kind of blew up. A sold out show was a real raucous time, and I don't think they've been able to play small venues since. I never anticipated the band being able to make it even a little big, so kudos to them.

* Turin Brakes - "The Underdog": I was supposed to see Turin Brakes when The Optimist LP came out, but then 11 September happened and the entire tour got cancelled. It wasn't until Jackinabox came out on a major label in the States that we finally got a wide-ranging tour, and it was a truly great evening on a whole. At this point, the band was right on top of their game, and they mixed a lot of old and new along the way. Kind of perfect even though things didn't take off for them in the United States the way I had hoped.

* West Indian Girl - "What Are You Afraid Of?": Opening for Turin Brakes was West Indian Girl, a kind of weird hippie dreampop band. I was really into their set, and, as my friend and I were leaving, two of the band members rushed out and gave me a copy of their CD, which was really cool. This sort of interaction was standard at TT's shows, but what makes this one especially interesting is that one of the former singers, Mariqueen Maandig, married Trent Reznor a few years ago and is a vocalist in How to Destroy Angels.

* Scissor Sisters - "Comfortably Numb": Another one of those bands that did a small tour before making it completely huge, I saw them right as "Take Your Mother" was hitting its stride. It was a sweaty, glittery debacle, but still a ton of fun.

* The Moldy Peaches - "Who's Got the Crack?": The Moldy Peaches really had an 18 month window where things were crazy, and then they went their separate ways save for that moment when everyone was into Juno. I first saw the Peaches open for The Strokes at Axis, but they did a tour/appearance with (I believe) Brendan Benson. The place was packed, and it was a weird show, but this was right on the cusp of things. I later saw them headline the Paradise and that was the last of it. At this point, I'm not sure we would see a reunion or if it would even work if they did.

* Freezepop - "Shark Attack": Freezepop is a Boston-based band probably known more in nerd circles for their early adoption of videogame-inspired instrumentation and their appearances in Guitar Hero and Rock Band (of which one of the founding members is a lead designer at the studio responsible for the games). I saw Freezepop countless times, but seeing them open for Sneaker Pimps (even if it was a reunited Sneaker Pimps that was a shell of their former selves) was probably more memorable than most if only because of the crowd there and how popular they had gotten to that point.

* St. Thomas - "The Cool Song": St. Thomas was the name of a Nordic singer-songwriter who wrote some pretty interesting indie folk songs, "The Cool Song" in particular being a massive hit with the crowd (and featuring members of Of Montreal playing with them on stage). I remember all of us who went falling in love with this guy, and we learned a few years later that the lead singer had committed suicide, which was really sad news to hear.

* Mclusky - "There Ain't No Fool in Ferguson": Mclusky broke up fairly quickly, all things considered, but I did get to see them on their final tour before it all fell apart. Still the only time I saw a mosh pit at TT's, and the reformed Future of the Left came through later, but I remember somehow getting tickets for this and racing from the airport following a trip to Chicago to see them in a tired, exhausted state. How weird.

* The Billy Nayer Show - "Baby": This is a weird song (and the only one on Spotify for this band), but so goes The Billy Nayer Show in a nutshell. I also saw them open for Of Montreal (sensing a trend yet?), and they just blew my mind. More an art performance than a musical group, I suppose they're not doing much as a group anymore, but the lead singer puts out music and movies now, so that's worth keeping up with.

* Jay Bennett - "The Palace at 4am": I saw Jay Bennett with Edward Burch shortly following a massive blizzard here in the Northeast. This was also noteworthy as it was the evening of the massive Michael Jackson interview on one of the major networks, and, because of the snow, things were pretty sparsely attended and I spent about an hour talking about music, Michael Jackson, and god knows what else with Bennett and Burch at the bar. Bennett was just coming off of Wilco, and I was trying my best not to be star struck. Bennett would pass away in 2009, and we're really worse off because of it.

* Kathleen Edwards - "12 Bellevue": This show actually got rescheduled due to the same snowstorm that hit around when Jay Bennett came about. It was rescheduled as a 6:00pm show and then got sponsorship from a local radio station. Kathleen Edwards remains one of my favorite singer-songwriters of all time, and she currently runs and owns a coffee shop in Canada. I hope she performs again.

* The Apples in Stereo - "Go": Another band I've seen countless times, I don't know what it was that made this special for The Apples in particular as much as I think the last time I saw them at TT's also happened to be the last time Schnieder and Sidney were a married couple. Still, I've yet to see a bad Apples in Stereo show, so that's something to be said.

* The Pine Hill Haints - "Never Gonna Die": Ken and I were actually at this show together, seeing Those Darlins and this band with Deer Tick as a special guest act. I really enjoyed this group, they're a pretty different, dark rootsy band, but the bigger takeaway for the night...well, we'll come back to that.

* Huck - "Never Needed You": I was fairly adjacent to the Worcester Music scene for a while. I had considered actually starting a band, joining a band, spending many a Friday at the Lucky Dog seeing Huck or The Deadites or, at the time, Mossberg, do their thing. Huck did an album release show at TT's once, all the Worcester bands went out that way to play, and it was a fairly fun night on a whole. Lead singer and songwriter Scott Ricciuti passed away a few years ago in a car accident, and the Worcester scene truly hasn't been the same since, but when I think of Worcester and of Huck, this is one of the shows I remember the most.

* Dolly Varden - "Second Chance": Dolly Varden was the Bennett/Burch opener, and I've been into them ever since. I've always wanted to see them again and I've missed them both times they've come through, but this might be one of the first bands that had a country influence that really piqued my interest in the genre.

* The Shins - "Know Your Onion!": Another "I saw them when" moment was their first tour following the release of Oh, Inverted World. Jokes about a song hitting a McDonald's commercial and possibly the most jam-packed I've ever seen anything at TT's, they were honestly a more compelling band when they hit the bigger clubs later in their existence.

* Those Darlins - "The Whole Damn Thing": I mentioned the show above, and Those Darlins were sassy and drunk and fun, and there's something to be said for shows like that. This show also featured inappropriate nudity from Deer Tick, so there's that.

* The Two Man Gentlemen Band - "Into My Minivan": The final show I've seen (and, judging by the calendar, will ever see in the current incarnation) at TT's was The Two Man Gentlemen Band with Ken some years back. The first time I'd seen them in a traditional rock venue, the band remains one of my favorites and is now partially involved in the music for Wander Over Yonder.

Monday Mix: Best Songs of November 2014

As we get toward the end of the new release year, it's good to look back at this month as we get to the top ten lists and such. Here's the best releases of November:

Monday Mix: Covers of R.E.M. Songs

With First Aid Kit's cover of R.E.M.'s "Walk Unafraid" coming out in the last couple weeks, it inspired me to look into making a mix of covers of my favorite band's songs. I've gotten countless cover albums over the years (most notably landing a copy of Surprise Your Pig something like 15 years ago, and I know how rare that can be), so I thought compiling a mix would be easy, but so many of the best covers aren't on Spotify, so we do lose out on some of the greats, like Tori Amos doing "Losing My Religion" or Editors performing "Orange Crush."

With that said, I was able to find 20 interesting/different/good(?) covers of R.E.M. songs on Spotify that are worth a listen. I'd like to send a special shout-out to the fine folks over at the R.E.M. Fans United group on Facebook. I've been a member for a few years and a call out for some help got some great ideas that I hadn't already dug up from Eric Hutchinson, Paul Cottrell, Pascal Isabel, and Christian Harper.

Monday Mix: Best Songs of October

When adult responsibilities get in the way of blogging, we sometimes have to go back in our time machine all the way to October to hear some of the best songs of that month. Enjoy a Monday Mix of those!

Halloween Mix 2014

Halloween is by far my favorite holiday. There are no family obligations, you can celebrate pretty much anyway you want (including staying inside and watching movies), it's the one time of the year my fascination with the macabre isn't considered weird, and candy, candy, candy. To celebrate, here is an alternative mix of season appropriate songs. I avoided the completely obvious ones you'll hear at least 10 times today no matter what ("Monster Mash," "Werewolf of London," "Thriller"). Instead, I went with some classic hip hop (Geto Boys, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince), punk (Ramones, The Dead Milkmen), 80s and 90s favorites (Dinosaur Jr, Letters to Cleo), current favorites (Benjamin Booker, Sallie Ford), and, of course, a smidge of metal. It's longer than our normal mixes, but 31 is 13 backwards, and 2 hours is about as long as trick or treating lasts. Plus, I love Halloween. Enjoy!

Monday Mix: Unexpected Duets

I love a good duet. It's no surprise that two of my favorite songs of all time (The Dears's "27: The Death of All Romance" and Hayes Carll & Cary Ann Hearst's "Someone Like You") are duets, so I figured this would be a good week to highlight some duets given the surprise of Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino singing on the new Weezer song "Go Away." With the exception of The Dears, I tried to keep the songs to surprising collaborations (like Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johannsen or Jack White and Alicia Keyes) or interesting combinations (Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris, Taylor Swift and Gary Lightbody). I also expect this to be the last time Taylor Swift makes one of these mixes.

With that said, enjoy!

Monday Mix: Favorite Dead Milkmen Songs That Aren't "Punk Rock Girl"

With tomorrow's release of the new Dead Milkmen album, Pretty Music For Pretty People, I wanted to explore their catalog a bit. Now, everyone knows "Punk Rock Girl," even those that have no idea who The Dead Milkmen are, which is why it's off this list. I'm in no way saying these are their best songs, but these are my personal favorite songs. I wanted to include some of their more obscure offerings, including their attempts at major label stardom. Of course, since Metaphysical Graffiti isn't on Spotify, this can't be a complete list. Hopefully this helps prepare you for tomorrow's fantastic new release!

Monday Mix on a Tuesday: Best of September

A day late, but not a track short, this month's best music features my favorite release of the month from The Red Headed Indian as well as tracks from the new Alt-J, Ryan Adams, and more. Check it out!

Monday Mix: The Two Man Gentlemen Band

After months of waiting, the latest offering from The Two Man Gentlemen Band landed on Spotify recently. With their show in Cambridge coming up, and the band being a longtime blog favorite, I figured this week would be a good place to do a quick introductory piece.
