Guilt Free Pleasures: Mothers' Day Mixtape

1273676426 Guilt Free Pleasures: Mothers' Day Mixtape

My mother is a punk rocker. she went to concerts a lot when I was growing up. she was even in the “Somebody to Shove” music video by Soul Asylum when I was a kid (just an extra, but I still thought it was pretty cool). Instead of listening to children’s music in the car, we listened to great late-80’s / early-’90s music like EMF, Nirvana, Midnight Oil and Erasure to name a few of the ones I remember liking the most as a child. and so it is fitting that the mothers’ day present she requested of me was a playlist / mixtape. Sorry it’s a little late, mom. here were her requirements:
~Ramones-fast
~No ballads, only exception one or two hooky high drama numbers
~No sensitive singer/songwriters; they’ve got to rock like they mean it
~No Britney – no exceptions (I like to annoy her by putting Britney Spears on the mix CDs I make for her)
~Released in the last year, unless it is absolutely the perfect choice between two songs
~Must make me want to get out of the car and dance

Here is what I came up with. they don’t follow all the criteria perfectly, but I think I did pretty well. Feel free to post your suggestions in the comments:
