Piece of Cake: Choice Cuts Vol. 4 (2005)

Now that 2005's up, for the fourth year in a row I've compiled some of my favorite tracks of the year under the "Choice Cuts" banner. As usual, Maria handled the design duties (even while juggling several other projects).

This year's edition, "Piece of Cake," contains the usual round of remixes, slightly obscure tracks, a few you've heard (hopefully not too much), and a few that technically weren't released in 2005 (but since I stumbled across them this year, I've included them anyway). I tried to avoid songs that got too overplayed (Death Cab for Cutie's "Soul Meets Body," for example), and I'm sure there are several picks that will make you question my taste.

But hey, that's the fun of making a mix. Like last year, I'll likely have a few copies left over -- if you're interested in making a mix swap, drop me a line at the mikemaria@sbcglobal.net.

This year’s track list:

1. One of Us Is Going to Die Young-- The Ark: This is pure pop pleasure. A hooky chorus that'll have you singing along by the second verse. A breezy ode to being young and carefree, I thought this was the perfect track to kick off the mix.

2. Catch My Disease-- Ben Lee: I gotta hand it to Ben Lee; he seems to disappear for a few years, and then comes back with song worth putting on "repeat." His classic track "Cigarettes Will Kill You" remains my favorite, but "Catch My Disease" rivals it. How can you not love a song that name checks "Beyonce on the radio"? (Although, I don't get the love for Good Charlotte.)

3. Hip Teens Don't Wear Blue Jeans-- Frank Popp Ensemble: This mod-pop collective from Germany hasn't quite made it to the States, although I first caught this song on Indie 103.1's imports show. By far the catchiest song I've heard all year, it manages to avoid novelty status despite its title. I still haven't tired of this 60s-inspired track.

4. Goodnight and Go-- Imogen Heap: Ahh, Imogen. "The OC" and Zach Braff may have co-opted you, but we still love you. Imogen keeps a spot in our hearts because it was Frou Frou that we listened to on the portable CD player as Maria went into labor last year. That's why we think Evan has taken a particular liking to her; this song remains my fave off her new CD.

5. Leap Year-- Maria Taylor: What a haunting, beautiful voice. Maria Taylor was on our Choice Cuts mix last year through Azure Ray; this year she returns for an encore as a solo performer.

6. Hate It or Love It (Official Remix)-- Mary J. Blige feat. The Game
: The Game's original version was good, but the Soul/Hip-Hop Queen takes it to a whole new level. Mary J. recounts her career up until now, and proclaims that she "ain't going nowhere -- but you already know me."

7. Slow Hands (Britt Daniel Remix)-- Interpol: Stripped down to the core, this Interpol remix could have wound up on 2004's Choice Cuts edition, "Baby Food." But it just missed the cut then; it was still a song I listened to enough in the early part of 2005 to make this year's recap.

8. We Might as Well Be Strangers (DJ Shadow Remix)-- Keane: It's official: No one can remix like DJ Shadow. This reworking of Keane is so powerful, you'll forget what the original sounded like. You'll want to listen to this one a few times.

9. Mirrorball (DJ Jazzy Jeff Sole Full Remix)-- Everything But the Girl: Yes, you read that right: DJ Jazzy Jeff. This parent understands: (Yes, that was so cheesy, but I had to say it)Everything But the Girl better put out a new CD soon. In a mean time, this year's remix CD -- including a beautifully done reinterpretation of "Mirrorball" by Jazzy Jeff (love the subtle piano) was a nice substitute. Now, if only we could get new parents Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt to release a new original CD...

10. Dance Music-- The Mountain Goats: Less than 2 minutes long, this song gives out a quiet but powerful punch more potent than tracks twice as long. Bonus points for location checking San Luis Obispo, which doesn't get the kind of song love that most other California cities get.

11. In the Morning-- The Coral: A tad cheesy, yes. But I bet you can't get that steel drum line out of your head. Big in the U.K., this song didn't make the same kind of splash here.

12. Twilight Creeps-- Crooked Fingers: Erich Bachman, who makes up Crooked Fingers, has a gritty voice that's paired rather nicely here with the sweet voice of Lara Meyerattken.

13. 16 Military Wives-- The Decemberists: Either you love 'em or hate 'em: The Portland-based Decemberists (who also appeared on last year's Choice Cuts mix) came out with one of my favorite CDs of the year, "Picaresque," their most accessible one yet. With "16 Military Wives," they also stepped into anti-war territory, although the song is equally hard on newsanchors and mindless celebs. Plus, the chorus is catchy.

14. I Drive Alone-- Esthero: Esthero's back! Finally. As a big fan of her 1998 release "Breath from Another," I waited for the follow-up... and waited... and waited. Finally, she released the EP "We R In Need Of A Musical Revolution," followed by the full-length "Wicked Little Grrrls." I didn't like the new CDs quite as much as "Breath," but I still dug on most songs -- including "I Drive Alone," reminds me of 1998 Esthero. For some reason, this track only appears on the EP.

15. Six Days (remix)-- DJ Shadow feat. Mos Def Another DJ Shadow appearance. I loved this song as a solo project, but also like what Mos Def has added to the remix. That's what you'll hear here.

16. I Can't Believe Its Over-- Bent: Sian Evans, from the group Kosheen, adds a seductive voice to this smooth track. From the Bent CD "Ariels," which was actually released at the end of 2004.

17. I See You, You See Me-- The Magic Numbers: "Love Me Like You" would have been the obvious pick from this group, who released their debut CD this year and immediately took Europe by storm (and are about to do the same here). Comprised of two sets of siblings, the Magic Numbers are clearly inspired by the folk traditions of the 1960s -- yet sound super fresh. I heard them perform "I See You, You See Me" live on KCRW, and immediately fell in love with this track.

18. Worn Me Down-- Rachael Yamagata: Actually released in 2004, I didn't catch up with Rachael Yamagata's "Worn Me Down" until this year. Better late than never; it's a stellar track. Bonus points: I didn't know her at the time -- actually, still don't -- but Rachael lived in the dorm across the street from me at Northwestern.

19. Mary Jane (DJ Green Lantern Evil Genius Remix)-- Rick James: It's Rick James, bitch! The late Superfreak comes to us courtesy this year's "Motown Remixed" project. One of the better CDs to come along recently and reinterpret classic songs (in this case, well-known Motown entries), "Motown Remixed" ends with "Mary Jane" as a bonus track.

20. Brighter Than Sunshine-- Aqualung: One of the more overplayed songs on this year's Choice Cuts mix, there were more sentimental reasons to keep it on here anyway. "Brighter Than Sunshine" became our unofficial song for Evan; we even used it as the accompaniment to a home movie of Blogger Baby.

Baby Food: Choice Cuts Vol. 3 (2004)

Besides the annual race, Maria and I have another tradition: The end-of-the-year “Choice Cuts” compilation CD. It’s a sampling of some of my favorite songs from 2004 (although, granted, not all are actually from the year), with the package designed by Maria. We managed to somehow churn out the third edition, “Baby Food” – keeping with the series’ food theme, natch -- just days before the birth of Evan. (Maria stayed extra late at work her last day before maternity leave to produce the cover!)

Like last year, we have a few extra copies for readers who might be interested – just email us at mikemaria@sbcglobal.net. We just ask that you send us a mix in return.

Now, on to this year’s selections. With just room for 18 tracks, plenty didn’t make the cut. And I also decided to stay away from great songs that are already all over the place (hence the glaring omission of songs from Indie 103.1 darlings like Interpol or the Killers). I know, I then violate that rule by including songs by Kanye West and Ozomatli, but whatever.

This year’s track list:

1. Los Angeles, I’m Yours-- The Decemberists: Of course I gotta start the mix off with an ode to our city. The Decemberists capture the love/hate relationship so many of us have with this metropolis. Los Angeles, you drive us nuts. But we're still yours. I found this song simply by typing “Los Angeles” in Limewire and took a chance. Glad I did, as this breezy tune reminds me of driving down Sunset Boulevard on a lazy Sunday afternoon in April.

2. All the Wine-- The National: Another stripped-down pop tune; I’d love to say I was inspired by one of the year’s best films, “Sideways,” but I simply happened upon this song via Utne mag’s bimonthly “In Radio: Out of the Mainstream” CD series. My sister Ann signed me up for the subscription as a birthday present; every other month, I receive a CD featuring interesting tracks from a mix of signed and unsigned artists.

3. Everything Is Everything-- Phoenix: One of the year’s best singles, I dare you not to get caught up in its infectious groove.

4. Overnight Celebrity-- Twista and Kanye West: A controversial choice, I know. By far the most mainstream pick on this year’s mix, I couldn’t help myself. Again, I’m a sucker for a catchy beat. And although I was originally planning on putting Kanye West’s “Through the Wire” here, I kept going back to the background sample Twista and Kanye use here.

5. New Resolution-- Azure Ray: Haunting. Beautiful. Wins the Gloria Gaynor award for this year’s best “F- you, I’m moving on” song.

6. First of the Gang to Die-- Morrissey
Morrissey released some of his best work in years in 2004, and this tune definitely stood out from the bunch. “You have never been in love Until you have seen the stars Reflect in the reservoirs.” Who knew moving to Los Angeles would give Morrissey some new creative juice?

7. Change the World-- Nellie McKay: I gotta admit, Nellie McKay’s strange PR gambit paid off. Never mind her irreverent lyrics (she name checks Dr. Phil here, for example) or strong, Tin Pan Alley vocals. Nah, I’ve been intrigued ever since it came out that McKay was lying about being a 19-year-old wunderkind. Turns out she’s a 22-year-old wunderkind. Why fudge just three years? It adds to the mystique. And it worked.

8. Golden-- Jill Scott: Another solid, catchy, damn fine song. No one’s asking who is Jill Scott anymore; this single, from her second CD, proved the girl’s got chops.

9. Snowflakes-- Just Jack vs. The Cure: The first of two “mash ups” on this year’s Choice Cuts, “Snowflakes” works beautifully. The song takes the vocals from British trip hop artist Just Jack and merges it with the music bed from the Cure’s “Lullaby.” U.K. DJ Eddie Temple Morris first did the mix as a bootleg for his show on London’s xfm radio; The Cure’s Robert Smith gave the thumb’s up to officially release it. Well done.

10. Where Is My Mind (Live 2004)-- The Pixies: Finally, an excuse to get The Pixies on a Choice Cuts mix! Back and touring, The Pixies have already been the subject of several concert bootlegs. This is from an April 2004 concert; Frank Black/Black Francis/Charles and Kim Deal never sounded better. Well, maybe they have, but it’s just nice to have them back.

11. Black Jettas-- Ima Robot: Regular readers of the blog remember how Maria’s poor black Jetta was totaled on Franklin Avenue back in May. And I mean totaled. Two teens stoned out of their mind sped down the Shakespeare Bridge and flew across the median, hitting Maria’s car face on. It never had a chance. Ima Robot takes a tongue-in-cheek swipe at the ubiquitous car, joking that all of their ex-girlfriends drive ‘em. We knew several people, including Maria, who drove black Jettas at one point or another, but most have moved on. For the record, Maria replaced the Jetta with a Volvo. See, the guys who plowed into her car really shouldn’t have come out alive – but they were driving a Volvo. And lived. That was good enough for her.

12. I Never-- Rilo Kiley: A timeless song, transcending genres, “I Never” should have been a hit.

13. Go or Go Ahead (Kaskade’s Sweet Secret Mix)-- Rufus Wainwright: All right, I must confess: I stole this song from someone else’s mix – MTV’s Brian Graden, the guy who discovered the “South Park” creators, puts out an annual CD for the holidays, and last year’s was really strong – kicking off with this remixed Rufus Wainwright track. I know, that makes it even worse -- it’s from his Christmas 2003 mix! But since I didn’t get that CD until January, it was really a 2004 track for me. It was just too strong to pass up. At over six minutes, it’s one of the longest songs on this year’s Choice Cuts compilation. But it’s a masterful remix, starting out slowly and quiet, before building into a true anthem.

14. Saturday Night-- Ozomatli: Probably another controversial choice, since this song was also pretty widely heard in the fall of 2004 – and even appeared in an iPod ad. But it’s a true jam, and Ozomatli still screams Los Angeles to me. I was hooked the first time I heard the “Hip hop, socialize, get ready for the Saturday Night!” chorus, and am still not tired of it.

15. I Need Love-- Luka Bloom An oldie; Luka Bloom actually recorded this in 1992, but I only heard it this year. C’mon, an acoustic rendition of the classic LL Cool J track by an Irish singer… what’s not to love?

16. Bandy Bandy-- Zap Mama feat. Erykah Badu: Erykah Badu somehow manages to get herself on the coolest songs out there, from The Roots’ “You Got Me” to her duet with Common, “Love Of My Life (An Ode To Hip Hop).” Add this song to the list, from Zaire-born Belgian resident Marie Daulne. the artist behind Zap Mama.

17. New York City, 1964-- Shawn Amos: Our friend Shawn has constructed an amazing album, “Thank, You Shir-lee May,” which tells the story of his late mother. Shawn’s mom was a promising young R&B singer in the 1960s; she passed away last year. Shawn channeled the pain of losing his mother into a pretty amazing album; you can read more about it here.

18. Frontin’ on Debra-- DJ Reset, feat. Pharrell vs. Beck: The second “mash up” on the album, mixing Pharrell’s “Frontin’” with Beck’s classic tale of JCPenney worker Jenny, her sister Debra, and Glendale’s Zankou Chicken. If 2004 was the year of the mashup, this was one of the trend’s biggest hits (beyond Danger Mouse’s Jay-Z/Beatles-inspired “Gray Album,” of course).

Hidden Track. Far East Network – Philippines radio I.D., 1981: A nod to our trip to the Philippines in February, the first time I'd been back since childhood.
