Theme Mix Saturday*: Closet Mix

May 30th, 2010

A pretty straightforward theme here with a lot of initial options to choose from. There were lots of shoes (from the blue suede, to Costello’s reds, to Adam Ant’s goody two) and a fair number of suits, zoot or otherwise, that didn’t make the cut. And despite the name of the mix, I opted out of “Venus in Furs” for a more upbeat number.

It’s a good, upbeat, party hearty collection of songs, even if Barnes and Barnes legendary classic “Party in My Pants” didn’t quite make the cut. I like to think having two songs about hot pants makes up for this.

While putting this together, I was really pleased to find the song “Marathon Shirt”… I listened to this song a lot in my Cal Poly years and I’ve been trying for years to remember it. Every time I would try, the Spoon song “Fitted Shirt” would get lodged in my head instead. All the powers of the internet can’t help you figure out “what’s that song that’s… about a shirt?” so I was dumbfounded to find it lodged in the recesses of my music library. It was there all along? Good song.
