09-28-06: In His Halls He Often Wondered With The Secrets Of The World

This mix from a few years ago features the music of Neil Young, with his epic "Cortez the Killer" as well as covers of his "After The Goldrush" and "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" by The Flaming Lips and The New Standards, respectively.

I also have a couple of Van Morrison songs here, including a very rare acoustic demo of "Caravan". The other song is "Gypsy Queen", one of a few songs to have "gypsy" in the title. The others are the Fleetwood Mac hit "Gypsy" and the Bob Dylan ballad "Went To See The Gypsy", supposedly about his meeting Elvis Presley in a hotel room.

Other stuff: the moody "You're Lost Little Girl" by The Doors, Johnny Jones & The King Casuals with a funky cover of Jimi Hendrix's "Purple Haze", the tender "Little Mascara" by The Replacements, the frantic "Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In the Shadow?" by The Rolling Stones, the soulful "Ain't No Woman Like The One I've Got" by The Four Tops, the retro soul of Cee Lo project The Heart Attack's "Right Now", Josh Rouse's warm "The Love Vibration", Mary Wells' cover of Deon Jackson's "Love Makes The World Go Round", the breezy "Heartbreak Beat" by The Psychedelic Furs, the James Brown-smapling "Vapors" by Biz Markie, DJ Muggs' mash up "The Doors vs. Audio Two", the spooky "The Abduction" by Touch with The Wu Tang Clan, Sound Dimnesion's cover of Young Holt Limited's "Soulful Strut", and Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell's cover of Nancy and Frank Sinatra's "Somethin' Stupid".
