05-19-16: Make Love Singing Songs

"Love You To" is a George Harrison compostion for The Beatles 1966 album Revolver that refers to their earlier hit "Love Me Do" and also incorporates Indian musical elements including tabla and sitar. This mix features the original version along with two earlier takes.

Three other songs repeat across the mix: Lee Hazlewood's 1966 ballad "My Autumn's Done Gone" with an early 21st century version by Tindersticks; Merle Haggard's 2011 song "What I Hate" with a recent snippet by Bonnie 'Prince' Billy; and a BBC version Radiohead's "No Surprises" along with another show recording by Michael Kiwanuka.

Sadevillain is a blending of MF DOOM vocals over the music of Sade, as in "Hot Pants", featured here.

The rest: the funky "Flavors Of Karma" by Earthgang and Spillage Village, the full 12 inch version of "Flash Light" by Parliament, the spacey track "The Ultimate Warlord" by the mysterious artist known as The Warlord, Corey Hart's 80s smash "Sunglasses At Night", the dramatic "Showdown" by Electric Light Orchestra, the strings-heavy "Alice" by Jev, the opening voiceover for the 1979 film Manhattan by Woody Allen, an extended disco remix of Love Unlimited Orchestra's "Love's Theme", a cover of The Beatles' "Don't Let Me Down" by Ghanian singer Carlotte Dada  and the Wu-Tang Clan-sampling "Problems (Triangle Park mix)" by Ray Vaughn with Pusha T.
