1. Title: Corporate Slave Artist: Snog Album: Remote Control (1997) Submitted By: Bryan http://ninebullets.net/ Comments: This one was easy. Snog was bashing corporate america long before it was fashionable to do so and I knew as soon as you said the theme was “The Man” I had to include one of their songs. This song originally appeared on their 1997 album “Remote Control” but this particular version of it is from their 2006 retrospective “Sixteen Easy Tunes For The End Times.” Hope y’all like it as much as I do. 2. Title: The Ascent of Stan Artist: Ben Folds Album: Rockin’ the Suburbs (2001) Submitted By: @philnorman Comments: You wondered why your father was so resigned. Now you don’t wonder anymore… 3. Title: Clampdown Artist: The Clash Album: London Calling (1979) Submitted By: April @ Now This Sound Is Brave Comments: “The men at the factory are old and cunning / You don’t owe nothing, so, boy, get running / It’s the best years of your life they want to steal” 4. Title: American Man Artist: Chuck Prophet Album: ¡Let Freedom Ring! (2009) Submitted By: hoosier buddy Comments: Chuck Prophet is the Captain America of guitar-slinging singer-songwriters. His trademark scarf and vest let you know he’s comfortable with the way he looks. The musical influences in this one song alone are a veritable melting pot of American culture. Twang meets classic rock and celebrates the love child with shameless 80′s riffage, His shield is the honest truth about what’s wrong, what’s weird,and what’s going on: “American man, three times your size, with blood on my lips, milk in my eyes.” We all recognize this American man. Heck, some of us are him. Proud as hell, too! 5. Title: Ohio Artist: Neil Young Album: bootleg (1971) Submitted By: tincanman Comments: I had so many ‘Man’ punisms running through my head to impress you with I almost forgot the ultlimate ‘The Man hath run amuk’ song. 6. Title: Vigilante Man Artist: Woody Guthrie Album: Dust Bowl Ballads (1940) Submitted By: Gorrck 7. Title: I Am The Man, Thomas Artist: Ralph Stanley Album: 1971-1973 (1995) Submitted By: Truersound Comments: I AM THE MAAAAN! 8. Title: Dear Employer (The Reason I Quit) Artist: Minus 5 Album: Down With Wilco (2003) Submitted By: toomuchcountry Comments: Oh yeah? Wow now you’re minus SIX my friend! I’m outta here. 9. Title: Heaven is a Half Pipe Artist: OPM Album: Menace to Sobriety (2000) Submitted By: Ryan (Verbow @ altcountrytab.ca) Comments: I remember this song getting a lot of play round the turn of the millenium. I don’t know if I would say its a good song but it makes me bob my head and laugh thinking, “yeah all I need is my board and my weed – the man can go eff himself!” 10. Title: Legalize It Artist: Peter Tosh Album: Legalize It (1976) Submitted By: Simon Comments: On the eve of Jamaican Independence 50th Celebrations http://www.jis.gov.jm/ja50/v2/ and on the day the country is poised to make it a male/female sprint double gold at London 2012, then it’s got to be Peter Tosh’s “Legalize It,” this Wailer gave the bird to The Man and if the stories are to be believed that’s what cost him his life. Beat this Snoop Dogg. 11. Title: This Is Not A Song, It’s An Outburst: Or, The Establishment Artist: Rodriguez Album: Cold Fact (1970) Submitted By: BoogieStudio22 Comments: It’s the establishment, man. 12. Title: Jesus Christ Superstar Artist: John Keating Album: Sound Gallery Vol 1 (1972) Submitted By: Bowood Comments: Andrew Lloyd Webber on FBFY, it was always on the cards. 13. Title: I’m the Man (Def Uncensored Version) Artist: Anthrax Album: I’m the Man (1987) Submitted By: Rockstar Aimz Comments: Gorrck sent this CD to me in 2001 when the anthrax scare hit the east coast. We told one of our other friends that “I got Anthrax in the mail.” She said, “Are you serious!!!” Our friends are not too bright. And we are immature. 14. Title: We Love You Tipper Gore Artist: Furnaceface Album: Just Buy It (1992) Submitted By: Lord Summerisle Comments: A song about “The Man” that’s about A woman. 15. Title: A New Tomorrow Artist: Screeching Weasel Album: 1993 Submitted By: annieTUFF Comments: So, when I heard the theme for this month was “The Man,” I thought of rebelling against status quo, rejecting the norm and living your life the way you want to live it. Instantly I thought of this song, Screeching Weasel is a band I’ve loved for years. It doesn’t matter what music I’m listening to, or if I’m going thru a “only listening to Buck Owens on repeat/surf music 24-7/or whatever else constantly” phase, I’ll always be able to add a Screeching Weasel song to my mixtape (or really…we all know it’s a playlist…but mixtape just sounds better dudes, ok?). Anyway, back to this particular song, anytime I’m starting to question my life choices I can listen to this song and instantly feel better, really. Sound dumb? Who cares, it works for me. 16. Title: Cars and Guns Artist: Roger Alan Wade Album: Stoned Traveler (2009) Submitted By: Adam Sheets 17. Title: Puttin’ People On The Moon Artist: Drive By Truckers Album: The Dirty South (2004) Submitted By: TheOtherBrit Comments: This was the first song that came to mind when I thought about The Man keeping ya down, especially convenient with the Mars landing just happening. 18. Track: Friday Night is for the Drinkers Artist: Bradley Wik and the Charlatans Album: Burn What You Can, Bury the Rest… Submitted By: Cowbelle www.morecowbelle.net 19. Track: The Man Artists: Pete Yorn (w/Natalie Maines) Album: The Nightcrawler (2006) Submitted By: Trailer 20. Title: Money Man Artist: The Countdown Five Album (1969): B-Side/ Shaka Shake Na Na/Money Man Submitted By: @popatunes Comments: This theme seemed a bit of a challenge finding something that wasn’t an obvious ‘The Man’ protest song, (my interpretation of the theme) so I was lead deep into the garage for an enjoyable excursion that distracted me to from my initial, but thought this little b-side gem from Texas City’s The Countdown Five was worth sharing. Y’all know by now I have soft spot for low-fi psych garage grooviness. The band had two Billboard Top 100 hits, “Uncle Kirby” and “Shaka Na Na.”

It's Hot! July's Mix from the Feel Bad For You Collective. Download 1. Title: The Crease Artist: Arliss Nancy Album: Simple Machines (2012) Submitted By: Captainsdead Comments: great rock record, nothing more, nothing less 2. Title: I Love Lucy Artist: The Producers Album: The Producers/You Make The Heat (2000, CD Reissue of the band’s first two albums) Submitted By: BoogieStudio22 Comments: I make no apologies for my love of all things ‘power pop’. The Producers put out a couple of albums in the early 80s and seemed to fly under the radar of most people, which is too bad because these guys crafted some great songs. 3. Title: Travel On Artist: Neil Young and Crazy Horse Album: Americana (2012) Submitted By: @mikeorren Comments: This song IS summer in America. Drive fast on a long highway and put it on repeat. 4. Title: I Wanna Be Your Marianne Artist: Amy Cook Album: Let The Light In (2010) Submitted By: Hoosier Buddy Comments: The most summer-soaked tune from an album produced by Alejandro Escovedo. A tasty confection: swirl cupcake in which relaxed rhythm guitar mixes with strangled cat lead tones, topped with Amy’s buttercream vocal track. You can never eat just one. 5. Title: Gotta Go Out West Artist: The Woolly Bushmen Album: The Woolly Bushmen (2012) Submitted By: Autopsy IV (ninebullets.net) Comments: Retro rock and roll from a group of kids from Orlando. I caught them live at Tropical Heatwave this year and they were a complete and total blast. Album came out last week and is available on Bandcamp. 6. Title: There Won’t Always Be an England Artist: The Wind-Up Birds Album: The Land (2012) Submitted By: April @ Now This Sound Is Brave Comments: This song cemented my love for this fantastic band out of Leeds, England. Even though it’s specifically about rabid nationalism in the UK, it’s an almost effortless exercise to translate it to the jingoistic patriotism that has been promoted in the U.S. over the past decade. The feeling of mounting frustration and anger in this song is a thing of beauty. 7. Title: Wasting Away Artist: The Brian Jonestown Massacre Album: Strung Out in Heaven (1998) Submitted By: Ryan (Verbow @ altcountrytab.ca) Comments: Can anyone take the essential elements of 60′s music (garage, pop, psycheldelia, country rock) and blend them as seamlessly as Antone Newcombe? I think not. Great, mellow track from these freaky weirdos. Love the harmonica. 8. Title: You Ain’t Going Nowhere Artist: Counting Crows (Bob Dylan) Album: Underwater Sunshine (Or What We Did On Our Summer Vacation) (2012) Submitted By: @philnorman Comments: Get your mind off winter time. You ain’t going nowhere. 9. Title: Joe Friday Artist: Alvin Youngblood Hart Album: Big Mama’s Door (1996) Submitted By: Adam Sheets 10. Title: Little Black Star Artist: Hurray For The Riff Raff Album: Look Out Mama (2012) Submitted By: TheOtherBrit Comments: Saw these gals & guy out of Louisiana in Waverly a couple months ago and they blew me away. 11. Title: Here They Come Artist: The Doc Marshalls Album: Look Out Compadres (2012) Submitted By: toomuchcountry Comments: I’ve been playing this track repeatedly after first hearing it during one of Bill Frater’s Freight Train Boogie podcasts (a great source of new Americana music). In this month we celebrate our independence and are reminded of the costs paid to defend it, many of the lyrics from this song resonated with me. 12.Title: Like Artist: We Run Album: We Run EP (2012) Submitted By: @popa2unes 13. Title: Fall Skull Artist: Little Wings Album: Black Grass (2011) Submitted By: Lord Summerisle Comments: I didn’t hear this album until early 2012 but it has swiftly become my favourite album of 2011. Brilliant stuff, a touch of Will Oldham, a dash of Bill Callahan and some sweet electronics burbling in the background. Perfect. 14. Title: Give Back My Heart Artist: Lyle Lovett Album: Pontiac (1988) Submitted By: Rockstar Aimz Comments: In spring, 1993, I was in college in Chicago at a coffee shop listening to these two other students jam away on their acoustic guitars, really killing it. They were playing some song that I didn’t know, but it stuck in my head all of these years because it was so good. Thanks to the miracle of satellite radio, I finally figure out nearly two decades later on my commute to work that they were covering this Lyle Lovett song, only adding a few curse words and massive blues guitar riffs. 15. Title: Worry About Your Health Artist: The District Attorneys Album: Slowburner (2012) Submitted by: Corey Flegel (This Is American Music) Comments: this was the song that reminded me to send in a submission…so, it then became my submission. 16. Title: Hard Times In America Artist: Willie Nile Album: Live From The Streets Of New York (2008) Submitted By: Truersound Comments: Now that the 4th is over, back to reality. 17. Title: Piledriver Waltz Artist: Alex Turner Album: Submarine EP (2011) Submitted By: Simon Comments: I treated myself to a few pieces of vinyl on Record Store Day amongst them a Caitlin Rose 7” (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJWiUOIpUS8) featuring a pair of tracks from Arctic Monkeys album Suck It and See and have been ‘spinning’ both regularly over the last month, Piledriver Waltz has got stuck in my head and become a new favourite, I stumbled across another version of the track that appeared on Alex Turner’s film soundtrack for Submarine and thought I’d throw this into this months mix. http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/v6cg 18. Title: Prime Mover Artist: Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction Album: Tattooed Beat Messiah (1988) Submitted By: Gorrck 19. Title: Unk In Funk Artist: Muddy Waters Album: Unk In Funk (1974) Submitted By: Bowood Comments: Muddy Waters just letting us know that funk wasn’t born until he entered the world, presumably 7am on Sunday July 7th, with seven doctors in attendance. Today is July 7, the mojo is still strong.. 20. Title: Racing in the Street Artist: Bruce Springsteen Album: Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978) Submitted By: tincanman2010 Comments: The bit about the girl sitting on her Daddy’s porch, all her pretty dreams torn is one of the saddest moments in song I know. Bruce’s band doesn’t get enough credit for the way they play this. And it’s not a car song; it just sounds at first like one. 21. Title: Continuous Thunder Artist: Japandroids Album: Celebration Rock (2012) Submitted By: Trailer 22. Title: Too Hot Artist: The Specials Album: The Specials (1979) Submitted By: annieTUFF Comments: It’s full blown summer now, and the crazy heat always makes me think of summers as a teenager, and punk. Driving around in my first car (death trap of a car that I scrimped and saved to buy after working my first fast food job) no AC, windows down, sweating like crazy, and cranking music as loud as I could thru my little battery powered tape player that I brought with me (because the stereo in the car kept blowing out the fuses for the lights…see? death trap). So, in honor of all the record breaking heat and summer tunes and memories I’m picking The Specials. And yeah, I know, it’s not punk, it’s ska, but c’mon it’s toooooo hot.
