Featured heavily in today's exclusive interview with former Guns N' Roses manager Vicky Hamilton, and with a song ('Surf Narcs') featured on a new surf compilation album - 'Radical Waves' from Deep Eddy Records - set for release this coming week, what better time to catch up with Robbie Quine, front...err....thing with The Barbarellatones? Read on as Robbie lists a suitably cool ultimate thirteen song mixtape to die for.....

 

 

1.) 'Orgasmatron' - Motorhead (from the album of the same name)  

 

Just dig the hypnotic benzo-y vibe!

 

2.) 'Sorrow' - David Bowie (from the album 'Pin-Ups')

 

Probably my favorite cover of all time. No one can 'Dark Croon' like Bowie!

 

3.) 'God Only Knows' - The Beach Boys (from the album 'Pet Sounds')

 

Like them or not, the best harmonies in rock. Always passes my goose-bump test.

 

4.) 'The Calling' - Death In June (from the album 'Nada!')

 

Love the flanger!robbie300

 

5.) 'Baby's On Fire' - Eno (from the album 'Here Come The Warm Jets')

 

Robert Fripp's solo sounds and feels like a nightmare, it actually screams like you're on fire! And Eno pulls his dick out and pisses, thereby extinguishing the flames.

 

6.) 'Venus In Furs' - The Velvet Underground (from the album 'The Velvet Underground & Nico')

 

Sonic Heroin!

 

7.) 'Candidate' - David Bowie (from the album 'Diamond Dogs')

 

The dark sci fi glam theme - I'm just a sucker for that shit. This is Bowie's gothiest album, I love it. Creepy-cool!

 

8.) 'Goo Goo Muck' - The Cramps (from the album 'Psychedelic Jungle')

 

So B-movie, just a fun song. It's like going to a rockabilly party in a Tuscaloosa graveyard with Frankenstein, Nosferatu and a Werewolf. In other words, really fun.

 

9.) 'Blue Jay Way' - The Beatles (from the album 'Magical Mystery Tour')

 

I was 8 when I heard this, and my imagination was already pretty other-worldly. I liked the tribal psychedelic feel of it. Very druggy and dreamy, but beautiful too.

 

10.) 'Spirit In The Sky' - Norman Greenbaum (from the album of the same name)

 

This song feels like you're in a cult lead by a Jesus Freak on LSD...the guitar sounds like a crabby old growling mountain lion. I also get a sweet Native American feeling about The Great Spirit in the Sky, and opens my Chakras!

 

11.) 'The River Song' - Donovan (from the album 'The Hurdy Gurdy Man')

 

I think Donovan inspired T Rex, who I love. Psychedic folk, just a pretty song...love the drone.

 

12.) 'Violence' - Mott The Hoople (from the album 'Mott')

 

Has a weird Clockwork Orange vibe to it!

 

13.) 'I'm So Free' - Lou Reed (from the album 'Transformer')

 

The whole fuckin' album rocks...Mick Ronson tears it up on guitar and Bowie's production is killer.
