Mixtape I

It's the weekend. Time to cruise with no particular place to go.

stolen apples mixtape 1 from martinqn on 8tracks Radio.

1. Booker T. & the M.G.s - Green Onions

There is a time for departure even when there's no certain place to go. 

- Tennessee Williams

2. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - Beat the Devil's Tattoo

Here's to the first of the day, fellas. To ol' D. H. Lawrence. 

- George in 'Easyrider'

3. R.L. Burnside - Let My Baby Ride

Sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whiskey and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind but falling in love and not getting arrested. 

- Hunter S. Thompson

4. Tom Waits - Step Right Up

It's not, not bad, huh? There's no heat here, but you know, by the time winter comes, I'll be in Florida. 

- Ratso Rizzo in 'Midnight Cowboy'

5. Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightning

Now the rain's like gravel on an old tin roof
And the Burlington Northern pulling out of the world
Now a head full of bourbon and a dream in the straw
And a Gun Street girl was the cause of it all. 

- Tom Waits

6. Canned Heat - On the Road Again

"Sal, we gotta go and never stop going till we get there."
"Where we going, man?"
"I don't know but we gotta go." 

- Jack Kerouac

7. John Lee Hooker - Dimples

when God created love he didn't help most
when God created dogs He didn't help dogs
when God created plants that was average
when God created hate we had a standard utility
when God created me He created me
when God created the monkey He was asleep
when He created the giraffe He was drunk
when He created narcotics He was high
and when He created suicide He was low

when He created you lying in bed
He knew what He was doing
He was drunk and He was high
and He created the mountians and the sea and fire at the same time

He made some mistakes
but when He created you lying in bed
He came all over His Blessed Universe.

- Charles Bukowski

8. Grinderman - No Pussy Blues

I'm so goddamn horny, the crack of dawn better be careful around me! 

- Tom Waits

9. The Black Keys - Lonely Boy

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

 - T.S. Eliot
