Help! Mix Tape Advice - Theme "A Night On the Town"

[bloodystereos]

Making it right now. Procrastination! If you feel so inclined, suggest some songs.

The theme of this party is a booze filled night at the bars. ish.

From my collection and a few last minute purchases, here's where I'm at.

Not in order:

Let's all go to the Bar - Deer Tick
I'm gonna get drunk - THS/Willie
Streams of whiskey - Pogues
Big Rock Candy Mountain - McClintock
Some stuff from The Blazers album Drinking Songs of the World, which I highly recommend!
This Bar Sucks - Elfamail (Just found this weirdness)
Massive Nights - duh.
Closing Time - Tom Waits

so? fill in the rest!

[bloodystereos]

Too Drunk to Fuck - DK

this might be the closer.

[bloodystereos]

removed elfamail. wtf.

[bloodystereos]

oh no. doublevision. foreigner

flash back

where did that come from?

I was just grabbing a fresh beer and as I popped the top that flashed in my head, uninvited.

disheartening.

[bloodystereos]

:Phaha. eight of them are probably mine. maybe six. still.

[citrus]

first things first before gathering suggestions, I cannot make a drinking playlist now without including "Theme from Cheers" by Titus Andronicus. I just can't.

[citrus]

Six Pack or Wasted-Black Flag
Black Like Me-Spoon
Last Night In Town-Lucero
Rage In The Plague Age-Les Savy Fav
Bad Scene, Everyone's Fault-Jawbreaker
A Salty Salute-Guided By Voices
7.99 For Love-Personal And The Pizzas

I don't how literal the drinking theme needs to be, but these I've found to fit right in with most drinking playlists.

I clicked on this thread because the title of your playlist reminded me of the Bruce Hornsby song of the same name. Probably not the vibe you're going for though. I second the Titus recommendation and I would also suggest "The Nights of Wine and Roses" by Japandroids and "Ole" by The Bouncing Souls.

[bloodystereos]

six pack would have been perfect. but the theme is more of a night out.

thanks for the quick reply.

I'm afraid I've now made to hit the burn button.

but let's keep this going for the 2.0

added Through the Bottom of a Glass, a bluegrass song by more than one artist

ummm. wrong theme.

[Rattlesnake Gospel]

Back in our early 20's my roommate and I always listened to Springsteen's "It's Hard to be a Saint in the City" while getting ready to hit the town. Not sure if that qualifies but it always brings back memories of splashing on the Sailor Jerry bay rum and fighting the ladies off with a stick.

Yes, most definitely sarcasm.
