The SBC Community Mixtape #17

Recommended Posts

Welcome back to the mixing zone, my fellow SpongeBobbies, for the 17th edition of the SBC Community Mixtape! I hope y'all are ready for the Day of Black Sun today, but while the US is looking to the sky for the upcoming eclipse, we're once again firing up the good old PokeBlock blender of music to make our next combined concoction. This time, it's going to be with one of our most out-there themes yet, as we'll be...

ROCKIN' THE BOWERY

Allow me to introduce all of you to a little hole in the wall, previously located at 315 Bowery in NYC's East Village, called CBGB. Or, rather, I'll let the main character from the 2009 movie Bandslam explain:

"CBGB: the nerve center of everything that mattered in music in the past 40 years. [...] Birthplace of punk! The Ramones, Patti Smith... Do you know how many times she must have spit on this floor? Bad Brains... Without CBGB, there'd be no Sex Pistols or The Clash, so U2 doesn't get inspired to form a band in Ireland. And the Killers don't hear U2 in Vegas, and decide to pick up guitars... The list is endless!"

More to the point: CBGB was a famed music club in NYC that was the epicenter of punk and new wave. Just about every band you can think of from those particular scenes played there at some point. It closed in 2006, and has since been turned into a men's fashion store, but the music lives on.

Can you tell where I'm going with this? The assignment for everyone this time is to find and add songs by artists that are known to have played at CBGB during its over 40-year lifespan. That list of artists is quite extensive, and to that end, I've taken the time to document them in the spoiler tab below:

Spoiler

This list of artists is taken from the most comprehensive source I could find, an archive site called CBGB Online. Since this catalogues every single band that's played at the club, many of them acts local to NYC, a lot of these will be far more obscure than others.

This also may not be a fully comprehensive list. If there's an artist you want to add who isn't in this list, but who you can find evidence of having performed at CBGB, let me know.

The rules:

  • We're going to do this similar to Steel's Obama Block Party, in that, once someone has added at least one song by a given artist to their submissions, that artist is officially claimed, and can't be submitted by anyone else. I'll try and keep track of them in the list above.
  • To balance out the above, you can only have a maximum of six different artists in your submission.
  • Try to post your submissions using a Spotify playlist. If this is not possible for you, at least make sure that all of your submissions are available on Spotify.
  • Joke/troll entries can and most likely will be excluded.
  • No repeat entries (can't submit the same thing as somebody else).

Tentative deadline for submissions is Saturday, April 13th. Now, can someone show me how to sneak into the secret abandoned CBGB bathrooms?

I decided to compile this one off of actual live recordings of each artist, though sadly, none were recorded at CGBG's. (HAH! I did manage to get one from Teenage Jesus and the Jerks lmao). You still get ZERO points for guessing why I chose "Life During Wartime" specifically :funny:

Here's mine. /

The B-52's: "Legal Tender, Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland, Loveshack"; Madonna: "Burning Up, Material Girl, Causing A Commotion"; Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers: "A Woman In Love (It's Not Me), Don't Come Around Here No More", and "Free Fallin'".
