Cam'ron's "Just Us", which begins this mix from a couple years ago, is built over the piano sample of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'". It manages to be both lewd and very affecting.
The only song to repeat on this mix is Stevie Wonder's hopeful "If It's Magic": both the original and a cover by Caetano Veloso.
Other stuff: the sassy "Buffalo Stance" by Neneh Cherry, a cover of The Archies' "Sugar Sugar" by Bob Marley & The Wailers, a remix of L.T.D.'s "Love Ballad" by D.J. Premier, Anita O'Day's winsome take of the standard "Key Largo", the smoky "Nightclub Jitters" by The Replacements, Bill Allen's rockabilly "Please Give Me Something", Bryan Adams' dramatic "Run To You", the droll "Nightclubbing" by Iggy Pop, Little Walter's bluesy "My Babe", an acoustic take Jimi Hendrix's "Hear My Train A Comin'", Public Enemy's furious "Fear Of A Black Planet", Paul Robeson's mournful version of the standard "Joe Hill", the philosophic "Long Shadow" by Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros, a live cover of The Velvet Undergound's "All Tomorrow's Parties" by Calexico with Iron & Wine, Jackie DeShannon's cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay" called "Lay, Baby, Lay", the wistful "A Home In Heaven" by Hank Williams with Audrey Williams, a cover of David Bowie's "Modern Love" by The Last Town Chorus, Thelonious Monk's take of the standard "Just A Gigolo" and Jackson Browne's melncholic "Here Come Those Tears Again".
