Playlist eight r summn

Time is the Master

1. Pink Floyd - Time
This song is so chilling. I love the lyrics, but they depress the **** out of me. I think a lot of these songs have a similar theme, but never presented quite so clearly.

2. The Pop Group - We Are Time
Heavily dub-influenced post-punk, similar to PiL but better, imo.

3. Polvo - Time Isn't On My Side
Hmm which song coming up on the playlist is this a play on? Just another perfect song off Today's Active Lifestyles...

4. Prefuse 73 - Back in Time
The sample at the start says it perfectly... "What I didn't want to do was record rappers rapping over a beat... I was really looking for something that was a bit more classic... and go backwards in time."

5. Red Hot Chili Peppers - Right on Time
The dichotomy on this track is emblematic of their progression up to Californication... they switch between angular funk rock and catchy pop at the drop of a hat. I really love the subtle synth bass line too, such a groovy and fun track.

6. The Residents - Time
Taken from the mind-blowing album "God in Three Persons," though probably the least representative track since it is instrumental.

7. The Rolling Stones - Time is On My Side
Always reminds me of Fallen. Lovely tune.

8. The Roots - Long Time
Why can't all rap be like this?

9. Roxy Music - A Really Good Time
The title doesn't lie.

10. Scratch Acid - Damned For All Time
Jazzy/funky noise rock! It doesn't get any better.

11. The Pagans - Haven't Got the Time
Really classic catchy hardcore.

12. Bad Religion - Doing Time
See above.

13. Skip Spence - This Time He Has Come
And this is what schizophrenia sounds like.

14. The Stooges - Real Cool Time
Iggy howls.

15. Sonic Youth - I Love Her All The Time
Iggy's howls echo into this song, but then Thurston Moore kills his idol with a love song. This might just be my favorite love song, actually.

16. Spahn Ranch - Each Time Centered
Dark, propulsive post-punk. Great instrumental track.

17. Caspar Brotzmann Massaker - Time
Caspar Brotzmann has a really unique style of playing, which I'm sure could put some off but I absolutely love it. Like his father, the legendary saxophonist Peter Brotzmann, he's obsessed with timbre... Much of his playing is largely textural, though he's obviously a skilled player. Look out for the group this band's name is an homage to later in the playlist.


18. The United States - Stranded in Time
Just a catchy little pop tune from the legendary psychedelic band. Very Kinky. Uh.. Kinksy. You know what I mean.

19. X - Some Other Time
OoooOOooOh you know there's something about X's infectious blend of punk and rockabilly that makes my toes curl.

20. Die Kruezen - No Time
Criminally overlooked hardcore/indie/american underground band.

21. Black Flag - Forever Time
I really love the band's dynamic here as both Rollins and Ginn take their respective styles in further extremes, with Rollins doing more of the growling screaming thing and Ginn getting jazzier and jazzier...

22. Bailter Space - Be On Time
Really interesting slightly industrial song from what is a rather varied "shoegaze" album.

23. Flying Saucer Attack - In The Light of Time
Remember when this was considered post-rock? Oh, the good ol' days.

24. Dirty Projectors - Time Birthed Spilled Blood
I really love this song. It opens with a really beautiful string interlude, sounding like a neo-classical piece... but then all of a sudden the drumbeat kicks in and some of the most stunning vocals I've ever heard... damn.

25. Gentle Giant - Time To Kill
This is a great song, reminds me of an off-kilter King Crimson song. Time to kill, and now it's...

26. Massacre - Killing Time
killing time!!! This band got mentioned earlier as well... and it's not hard to see why they garner a lot of respect. It's very technical but doesn't fall into that trap of being boring and aimless.

27. Minutemen - The Politics of Time
This is what they're good at.

28. Miggedys - Times Like These
Really catchy punk ska tune.

29. Chumbawamba - Timebomb
I put this on here just to piss off Urban (not really, I quite like this song).

30. John Cale - Only Time Will Tell
Prettyful.
