Bunkka

Paul Oakenfold is just a sick, sick DJ.  I was watching Michael Mann's Collateral last night with Jessica and the soundtrack to that movie is great.  During the Korean club scene, there was dope track that caught my ear.  I look it up and it is "Ready Steady Go" by Paul Oakenfold.  I don't know why I am surprised, his stuff is great. 

So I downloaded the album it is from, Bunkka which was released in 2002.  All of a sudden all the electronic music from college comes flooding back to me.  I never realized that so many of those popular songs from that year (Hynotised, Starry Eyed Surprise, Get Em Up, etc) were from this one album.  Here is the playlist:
  1. "Ready Steady Go" (vocals: Asher D) – 4:13
  2. "Southern Sun" (vocals: Carla Werner) – 6:57
  3. "Time of Your Life" (vocals: Perry Farrell) – 4:17
  4. "Hypnotised" (Vocals: Tiff Lacey) – 6:34
  5. "Zoo York" - 5:25
  6. "Nixon's Spirit" (vocals: Hunter S. Thompson) – 2:48
  7. "Hold Your Hand" (vocals: Emilíana Torrini)– 3:39
  8. "Starry Eyed Surprise" (vocals: Shifty Shellshock) – 3:48
  9. "Get Em Up" (vocals: Ice Cube) – 3:50
  10. "Motion" (vocals: Grant-Lee Phillips) – 6:24
  11. "The Harder They Come" (vocals: Nelly Furtado and Tricky) – 3:50

Hungerstrike

Man, I just remembered how much I loved to rock out to this track in high school.  Temple of the Dog was a short lived super group led by Chris Cornell, the lead singer of Soundgarden, and members of soon-to-be-formed, Pearl Jam (i.e. Eddie Vedder, Mike McCready, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard and Matt Cameron).

Here are the killer lyrics...

I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled,
But it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And they're farming babies
While slaves are working
Blood is on the table
And the mouths are choking
But I'm growing hungry

I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
But it's on the table
The fires cooking
And they're farming babies
While the slaves are all working
And it's on the table
The mouths are choking
But I'm growing hungry
I'm going hungry

I am definitely planning to catch another Pearl Jam concert at the Gorge when I move back to Seattle (someday).
