October, 2012, Colour Bomb. For Jacob

I had a few ideas for this, but ended up going with color songs that I like, and when my OCD-ness took over, I grouped them by colour. Good times!

1. The Rolling Stones - She’s A Rainbow -- This was the first song I thought of when I heard the theme...Jacob actually gave me the record that this song is on -- Their Satanic Majesties Request -- for my birthday a long time ago, so I thought it was appropriate to start with.
2. The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes -- One of my favorite songs of all time. Beautiful.
3. Galaxie 500 - Blue Thunder -- Embarrassingly I've just recently gotten into this band while reading Dean Wareham's autobiography. I really like 'em!
4. Split Lip Rayfield - Blue Tick Hound -- I miss Kurt.
5. International Submarine Band - Blue Eyes -- Gram Parsons before he was Gram Parsons. Some great songs on this record.
6. Thurston Moore - Silver>Blue -- Thought about removing this song, since there is a SY song later on in the mix, but I think it's a really cool song.
7. The Knitters - Silver Wings -- John Doe doing Merle. I love John Doe's voice. So sad sounding.
8. The Clash - White Man In Hammersmith Palais -- According to Encyclopedia Britannica, The Clash are the most important rock band in the world, and this, IMHO,  is the best song ever!
9. Sonic Youth - Green Light -- This song reminds me of my apartment in college, sitting around getting drunk and stoned, listening to Sonic Youth in the darkness, with only a green light shining in the distance.
10. Fruit Bats - Heart Like An Orange -- One of the better songs on their latest album.
11. Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band - Yellow Brick Road -- Wasn't planning on including a Beefheart song, but I really love this song (and this album).
12. The Pogues - A Pair Of Brown Eyes -- Reminds me of my dog Shane...
13. Circle Jerks - When The Shit Hits The Fan -- Went back and forth trying to decide whether or not to put this on. Finally decided to. Oi vay the brownness!
14. Small Faces - Red Baloon -- I like it when Ronnie Lane sings. He and Steve Marriott share the singing on this song...
15. Beat Happening - Red Head Walking -- The first Beat Happening song I ever heard, and still my favorite!
16. Minor Threat - Seeing Red -- So angry...so, so angry.
17. Arthur & Yu - Black Bear -- I wish this band was still around, for many reasons. I love this song.
18. Tom Waits - Big Black Mariah -- So many "black" songs to choose from, but I wanted to include a Tom Waits song, so this is it.
19. David Bowie - Black Country Rock -- A very stony song off of my favorite Bowie record.
20. The Paragons - Black Bird Singing -- Token ska song. I really like their take on Black Bird.
21. Spoon - Black Like Me -- One of my favorite Spoon songs.
