AGS ANTHEMS Vol. 2

[CaptainD]

Cool. I like Hellfire so I might go with that one if that's okay?

WHAT KIND OF EVIL DESPOT ARE YOU?!?!?   

Can anyone suggest a Pixel Hunt song?

Troll Song of course!

Troll Song of course!

My thought exactly! Troll song
But I think our latest might work as well : Something silly

My personal picks:
Crowded House - Weather With You (can't find the original for some reason..)
Sheryl Crow - Soak up the sun
Pet Shop Boys - Se A Vida E (That's the way life Is) always reminded me of summer.. maybe it was the video..

[CaptainD]

I had to say Troll Song as it's also my game though.

Thanks guys. So many to choose from! I'll troll through these tomorrow.

And of course we still need an album cover. Where are our talented artists?

[monkey424]

Alright, I'll stop beating around the bush..

AprilSkies! Where's my album cover?

Remember you work for me now.

Er... actually he works for ME!!   Well, sort of.

May I respectfully suggest as your album cover the four trolls from Troll Song in Bermuda shorts, on a beach, perhaps playing beach volleyball?  I give you permission to use the characters (just send $50K to my PayPal account before the weekend's over.)

Get Sleuth released before the end of 2014 and I'll knock off 2%

I still need a few more songs to fill the gaps.

[CaptainD]

I thought you said you were going with "Hellfire" from Mango Grooce?

[monkey424]

I thought you said you were going with "Hellfire" from Mango Grooce?

Yeah I changed my mind. But I may change my mind again before the day is through.

The YouTube video for Dance Sum More is somewhat amusing too, not that it's relevant.

For the last few songs, suggest some reggae or more African vibes.

   

[Stupot]

How about Johnny Osbourne 'No Ice Cream Love'.
Man, my mum used to listen to this album when I was a kid. Takes me back.

[actually, listening to it now, I think he's actually saying it's winter so he don't want no ice cream because he's already cold. But seriously, how cold does it get in Jamaica in the winter? ]

[monkey424]

But seriously, how cold does it get in Jamaica in the winter? ]

24 deg. C on average in winter according to quick Google search. Brrrrr!

Good work Stu. I'll add this to the mix somewhere.

Can anyone suggest an end track?

The lead singer Charlie Fink sounds super West Country (England) but is from Twickenham London where the band was also formed. I've always found that really strange.

Anyway here are two suggestions, either-or really:

Iron & Wine
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_VHj1_-Hg0I - Sunset Soon Forgotten
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n9SmwC_ZX0I - Lion's Mane

Check out the album The Creek Drank the Cradle in general, there are some very summer beach sounding songs on there

[monkey424]

Thanks Atelier.

I've listened to a bit of Iron and Wine now. Very mellow stuff. I'm discovering a lot of new music here.

I found another of their songs that I quite like:

Carousel
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc8hXJTki3U

I like the tune, but the subject might be a bit dark.

What are your thoughts? Any other I&W songs you can suggest with this sort of tempo / tune?

Any other artists you can recommend? e.g. Pearl Jam, Stereophonics, etc.

[Stupot]

In memory of Joe Cocker, how about his version of Summer in the City?

[CaptainD]

If you're still short of a track, and you don't mind me chiming in with another (last time you went into meltdown when I did! ), I would like to suggest The Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy.

Hmmm.. I can't make any promises, but I might be able to squeeze this onto the mix somewhere.

Captain. This is AGS Anthems Vol. 2 and I think we've all moved on from the circus of Vol. 1 and are now all a bit more mature. You are of course welcome to suggest more than one song. No one will judge you for being a song hog.

On the last mix you suggested Eliza Doolittle and Paloma Faith, the latter of which missed the cut. Any tracks of hers you can recommend?
