Mixtape suggestions
 

I gots a roadtrip coming up in a few weeks and all of us in the car each have to make a mixtape. The theme for this one is 'around the home'.
There are some obvious ones like Sonic Youth's unmade bed, anything by the Doors, knives out by Radiohead and so on and so on but I wanna see what you throw up. First person to suggest any nine inch nails gets a lifetime ban from the house of h8kurdt.

The Shadow Ring have plenty of songs that refer to things around the house, e.g. I Am the Black Piper, Watch the Water, Tiny Creatures.
Also, off the top of my head
The Fall - My New House
The Fall - There's a Ghost in My House
Jandek - a track from the album Ready for The House
The Jungle Brothers - I'll House You
Funky Four Plus One - Rapping and Rocking The House
Ultramagnetic MCs - Kool Keith Housing Things
Jimi Hendrix - Red House
Adam Bohman - Stay Home on Mondays

Also, chances are the people you are sharing a car with will love you for making them listen to the shadow ring when they are trapped and can not escspe

It's shameful that they even get mentioned on this board.

Cake - Italian Leather Sofa
Dinosaur Jr - Drawerings
Low - Plastic Cup
Depeche Mode - In Your Room
Elvis Costello - Radio, Radio
Midnight Oil - Beds Are Burning
Manic Street Preachers - Between The Clock And The Bed

Ha! Tbf they're as open minded as you can get with music. I gave them a whirl myself and yeah, not up my street. Thanks for the recommendations so far guys!

Ah, I can't say anything given how much I espouse about Queen on here.

Half Man Half Biscuit - Joy Division Oven Gloves

i’ll boot myself...

“around” the home:

lead belly - where did you sleep last night https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=28KEs9xq6X0

sonny terry & brownie mcgee - diggin’ my potatoes https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UOCqteysTJo

professor longhair - tipitina https://youtu.be/vb2a3a-TueQ
[Say Loberta, oh poor Loberta
Girl, you tell me where you been
When you come home this morning, honey
You had your belly full of gin]

Jade Bird - I Get No Joy
Pink Martini - Sympatique
Julia Lee - Mama Don't Allow It
Butthole Surfers - The Wooden Song
The Subways - No Goodbyes

Oh, I see there's a theme... Pick the 3rd song then.

and these:
The Go-Betweens - Streets of your town
UB40 - Rat In Mi Kitchen
Fugazi - Furniture

That Leadbelly song is pushing it a bit. Then again Take This Hammer by him could work. Some great suggestions so far.

oh, you want tools/utensils?

take this hammer is about forced labor or something... but i get what you're after.

Not specifically. Just stuff that's around the home. Like television, the books, radio gaga, Norwegian wood. That kind of stuff.

Doesn't matter the topic of the song. Has to have something that can be around the home. I'm gonna somehow have to whittle all these down to one coherent hour long mix.

i’m still stumped by the furniture and utensils but you know what can be found around many respectable homes?

i would never recommend alan’s psychedelic breakfast cuz you could fall asleep and smash your car

Hahaha! I actually did consider that one as the opening track. I gave it a listen after donkeys of not hearing it. Forgot it was 12 minutes.

Ooh! Washing machine! How'd I forget that one

Shonen Knife - "Rubberband"

you could probably make an entire Shonen Knife mixtape on this theme :)




and also (duh)
"Our House"- Crosby Stills and Nash

Pixies - Couch away

oh! or cibo matto and their food obsessions...

plus... spoon, empty pool, housekeeping...
