Mix Jones #3: Too Much Monkey Business

I actually made this mix a while ago and couldn’t think of some decent cover art for it. Fortunately, the other day I saw the surprisingly good Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which fairly closely mirrors the plot of Groovie Ghoulies’ Outbreak. I also probably could’ve filled this with far more songs about how businessmen wear monkey suits but I cut NOFX’s Pimps and Hookers and The King Blues’ Chimp in a 3-Piece Suit and just stuck to the one. So this is one for all our simian friends.

Mix Jones #1: I'd Be Joey From Friends if He Was Always Drunk aka NO PARTIES! NO CASUALTIES!

This is a compilation of punk songs about TV. This is what I came up with. I tried to avoid some of the really obvious ones as I made it as a response mix to the mix of my friend Ditty (who made the sweet fucking cover art you see above) and wanted to avoid any and all of the songs he used, I still let a few unavoidable tracks like the opener creep in though. At first I thought I might be struggling for tracks and then I remembered how all punk rockers are pathetic nerds who love singing about having crushes on characters in TV shows or pathetic nerds who love singing about how how all of TV is a mass market capitalist sedative forced by lizard scum upon a bovine audience of sofa tubers. I think I let it get away from me a bit. The first draft was 50-odd tracks long, so I did pretty well to get it down to this length. For a long while I opened with the Minutemen's Corona. Could've done with another five songs or so of trimming but fuck it, I need to go to bed.
