I am home, I am home, I am home. Welcome to today's Wednesday edition of Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice. I have a couple orders of business to attend to before I get to the actual music, so hold tight. First of all, I'd like to thank Joseph for his excellent job taking care of posting while I was away on my four day graduation trip. He will continue (if he wishes) to be a regular contributor to this blog. Second, there will be two posts today (one in the morning; one in the evening) seeing as I did not find the time yesterday night to write a post. So, consider this to be yesterdays post. Well, that's about it for that, so prepare yourself for today's Random Wednesday Mixtape.
Looks Like Coffee, Tastes Like Juice Mixtape; You Remind Me of Home
To Go Home - M.Ward (Daniel Johnston cover)
This is one of my favorite Daniel Johnston songs and, coincidentally, it is also one of my favorite M.Ward songs. A beautiful ode to ... going home?
Slow Pony Home - The Weepies
This an absolutely beautiful song from an absolutely beautiful band.
You Remind Me of Home - Ben Gibbard
This track was released on a split EP put out by two of my favorite songwriters, Ben Gibbard (of Death Cab For Cutie fame) and Andrew Kenny (of American Analog Set fame)
Don't Go Home With Your Hard-On - Leonard Cohen
The up-beat, phased out music, accompanied by an exciting saxophone, sets the stage for this tale of a boy following in his fathers scheming ways. I laugh out loud every time I see the title of this song.
and the grand finale ...
Bring the Boys Back Home - Pink Floyd
This is one of my favorite Pink Floyd songs. It starts of with a marching beat and then a crowd of people gloriously shouting the lyrics to Bring the Boys Back Home, filled with bravado. It fades quickly to many sounds from the albums, such as the manager, the groupie and manic laughter. A perfect lead-in to Comfortably Numb.
So, I hope everyone enjoyed this mornings post, remember to check back this evening. It's good to be home.
