The Kinks are featured on this mix from last year with three of their more moving and bittersweet songs: the moody "Nothing In The World Can Stop Me Worryin' 'Bout That Girl", the yearning "This Time Tomorrow", and the heartbreaking "Days".
Other stuff: the cinematic "To Live And Die In L.A." by Wang Chung, a decadently extended mix of Diana Ross' "Love Hangover", Clipse's percussive "Hello New World", Big Daddy Kane's defiant "Young Gifted And Black", Liz Phair's spooky "Stratford-On-Guy", a mash up of Jay-Z's "I Just Wanna Luv You" over Lynrd Skynrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" by Cosmo Baker, a sweet cocktail lounge cover of Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" by Basil Henriques And The Waikiki Islanders, Kid Frost's mellow Latin hip hop track "La Raza", Barry White's sweet and languid "I've Got So Much To Give", a live version of "Tangled Up In Blue" by Bob Dylan with The Rolling Thunder Revue, Crosby, Stills & Nash with a rare cover of Fred Neil's standard "Everybody's Talkin'", The Constantines with Feist on a slow take of Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's duet "Islands In The Stream", Marlene Dietrich's deceptively cheerful "He Lied And I Listened", O.V. Wright's soulful "No Easy Way To Say Goodbye", the cutting "Lyin' Eyes" by The Eagles, and the sad "Just Another Broken Heart" by The Carter Family".
