If Keith Richards can be dad so can I. I had no clue I’d be a dad one day. Now with two lovely daughters who are sure to give me some challenges one day you gotta wonder how I’m going to make it through. I know I’ll persevere or just move-out. One of my tips for listening to the music you want on the on road-trip. So you can listen to what you want in the car when you want to listen to these tracks is make the wife drive and you wear the headphones so you don’t have to listen to the princess music. This is option or wait until they fall asleep. Anyway here’s a few songs for good old dads. I’m sure there are plenty more.
Long Gone Daddy MP3 by Nine Pound Hammer from Smoking Taters. It’s about getting in a fight and leaving. Classic rip roaring trucker punk.
Kicked My Dad MP3 by Buzzkill. This is a fast classic bar rock track by New Brunswick, NJ college punks formerly known as Butthead.
Beer For Breakfast MP3 by The Replacements from All for Nothing B-Sides. This is a A-side if I ever heard one and I think the best beer is the first beer and if my lifestyle allowed and I could be on “vacation” everyday and there could be a nice cool breeze hitting me in the face; a beer with breakfast is the way to go especially with weovos rancheros and a coffee to wake your ass-up.
Piss Up A Rope MP3 by Ween from 12 Golden Country Greats. Classic Dean Ween. “I’m sick of your mouth and your 2% percent milk” Man these are some of the most comedically satisfying lyrics that gets down to the business of falatio and not taking shit from the wife. NSFW but funny as hell. Good road trip song. Anybody have the bootleg of them live playing with version of the band in NYC?
’69 Dodge Charger MP3 by The X-Rays from Double Godzilla (with Cheese) via eMpTy Records (1996) . I’m not sure how complete if this playlist did not include a song about a car. My secret fantasy is to own a muscle car with race car style seat belts that gets shitty gas mileage and is fast as bull balls. So here’s a song that does this idea justice.
Beggin’ Dogs MP3 by Obits from Moody, Standard, and Poor. Again any song about a dog is good. This song ain’t a dog though.
Daddy MP3 by Tall Dwarfs from Fork Songs. Pretty amazing band to begin. It’s lo-fi. This particular track has hypnotic riff set to some tv track backdrop.
It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World MP3 by James Brown because it is a man’s world but it wouldn’t mean nothing without a woman or a girl. Amen. Classic misogyny at it’s best.
Trinidad Bump MP3 from Falling off the Reel via Truth & Soul label. If you like the disco era Clash with the bongos and funky driving bass lines this track will totally remind you of that. This instrumental should sneak it’s way into your playlist to add some soul to mix. Plain and simple.
It’s a Man’s Man’s Man’s World MP3 by James Brown. E’nuf said.

Here’s a perfect example of what we were talking about recently with PE & Gil Scott Heron influencing the many borrowing and sampling from the best with a permanent effect on pop music. This can’t be denied.
Give The Drummer Some MP3 by Ultramagnetic MC’s.
Not Now James, We’re Busy MP3 by Pop Will Eat Itself from This Is The Day…This Is The Hour…This Is This! (1988) Legend has it that when PWEI toured with Publi Enemy they got bottled off the stage. I also did not realize that treece & Miles hunt from the Wonder Stuff were part of this band. The singer of course is Clint Mansell one of Trent Reznor’s pals who got him into film scoring. I always thought “Can you Dig it” pailed in comparison to this song and the deepest remix track Wise Up! Sucker [12_ Youth Mix] MP3
Fever MP3 by Stereo MC’s from The Rebirth of Cool — A Deeper Shade Of Blues (1992). This is first of a series of amazing CD comps that came out on Island Records. If you see any of them pick them up in the used bin or pay lot of dough on the ebays. On this next track I love the congas and how jazz really open it all up with xylophone jamming throughout Taurus Woman MP3 by The Subterraneans.
Funky Chick MP3 by Lefties Soul Connection from Skimming the Skum. I love the show Treme mostly because it really paints a realistic picture of the musical culture where The Meters are from and what the people of New Orleans have been dealing with in rebuilding their way. This instrumental funk band is raw like that show except they are freaky Dutch white guys! Seriously be a fan and get some of this.
DJ Spooky vs. Dub Pistols (Peace In Zaire Mix) MP3 by DJ Spooky from Subliminal Minded EP. This track has such a great undergroove you want it to keep going and going until you fall down. I think if I ever got a chance to slip this in the party would have to really be bouncing I’d play it twice in a row. Try it! Here’s a bonus track called Organ Donor MP3 from Endtroducing… Which has this church like keyboard part that reminds me of pink floyd a little bit intertwined with a dream beat. Ever see the Phillip Glass movie Koyaniskaski? It’s like an excerpt of that.
Soul Power MP3 from The CD of JB Sex Machine & other Soul Classics. Any comp of his best of is an amazing feat in rhythm and blues but you gotta listen with your funk because it’s about the notes they don’t play my brother. In particular on the bass part of Licking Stick – Licking Stick MP3. It’s mostly bass, with some drum clicking and with intermittent horns and guitar playing down and up beats as your’re doing the James Brown. Love it when he works himself him in as an actionable word. I don’t know can you dig it?
