mixtapes

Songs That Go Like, Weew Weew

mixed by Liam Eagle

PERFECT FOR

Air guitar; Squinting; Clenching Fists.

INTRODUCTION

You know that part in the song, where it's like, weew weew? Like, weeeeew weeeeew. You know what I'm talking about? It can be a guitar, a slide guitar, a keyboard or some kind of computerized effect. But there's just something about that noise that can't be mistaken. If you ask me, you can't play an instrument unless you can make it go weew. Weeew weeew! Damn. It's as if all the most passionate shit imagineable is simultaneously being expressed through one screaming squeal. Weeeew! Feel that? It's like the best part of your favourite song, man. And you have good taste. It rocks. Weew!

PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

I guess, for starters, I'm going to have to lay a mix tape on you one of these days that doesn't have the song Tuesday's Gone by Skynyrd on it. Or, rather, humanity is going to have to come up with a concept or a feeling that isn't perfectly evoked by the song Tuesday's Gone by Skynyrd. I mean, would you have really believed in this mix tape if Tuesday's Gone hadn't been on it? Fuck no, man. You would have been like "dude, this mix is a bunch of bullshit! Where's Tuesday's gone? Weew!" And you would have been right. And I would have changed it.

LISTENING INSTRUCTIONS

Dude, just sit back and listen to those weews. Whether its a guitar solo, a repeated keyboard rif, or even that vocal bit in Sympathy for the Devil when it sounds like they might actually be saying "woo woo," the sound is talking to you, man. It speaks directly to your soul, saying "hey buddy. I know sometimes life can be a motherfucker. But you know what? You're gonna be alright. Weeeeew! Weeew Weeew!" Now that's a real fucking friend. Not like deedledeedle or whuckachucka. Those sounds are only around for the good times, man. When the shit starts to pile up, they're nowhere to be found. Ever notice that? Weew weew has got your back. Don't ever forget that. Ever.
