Day 72: Cinco De Mayo

Hola! Today is Cinco de Mayo!!! Time to grab a Corona (or any other random Mexican beer you need to drown out with lime to stomach) and a shot of tequila (see previous note, add salt) and kick back. This list is sort of incohesive. I put together a short list of songs I would like to hear on Cinco de Mayo. They aren't the best Mexican party songs or songs by American artists in Spanish or anything like that. Nope, just a few jams in honor of this holiday.

YouTube:
01. Miami Sound Machine - Conga
02. Santana - Oye Como Va
03. Ritchie Valens - La Bamba (Cover from the made-for-TV movie)
04. Gipsy Kings - Hotel California
05. WAR - Cinco de Mayo (cover only)
06. Johnny Cash - Ring of Fire
07. Wyclef Jean - Guantanamera
08. Calexico - El Picador
09. Pixies - Vamos
10. Rage Against the Machine - People of the Sun

Day 71: Soul/R&B (1)

Well, this week's genre tour is Soul/R&B. Much like I did with the Classic Rock lists, this is going to be more of an R&B Radio play-list. This list is half of a larger list, which will conclude in a week or two.

Note: I draw distinctions between older R&B and newer. Like, Boyz II Men won't share a list with the Temptations. But modern R&B is a genre in itself (which may be a list some day!!!...?)

YouTube:
11. Wilson Pickett - I Found A Love (Cover Only)

Quick word!

Hey folks. Sorry, I'm having a little trouble with imeem. The list will be published by this afternoon. Sorry for any inconvenience.
