Hip Hop Mix 8

I think the hip hop mixes are just barely more popular than my country mixes.  Meaning two people grabbed the hip hop ones and one person got the country.  So with that in mind who wants some new hip hop?


Mac Miller has some skill, he has two songs on the mix.  How throwback does this video sound?  Well done child, well done.

Make It Whistle

I hope everyone had a magical Christmas.  I come bearing belated goodies for everyone. 

I enjoy me some whistling.  I saw a pbs special on dogs and the Shepard had a crazy number of different whistles to communicate with the dog.  He even had a whistle that meant turn back you missed one of the sheep.  It made me realize that my fondness for whistling may perhaps just be a sub-human primitive response to past animalistic instincts.  I also just saw something on tv and the gang on the show used a whistle to notify the other members of their position when separated in the dark.  Crazy, anyway I guess I still like whistling, it's the caveman in me.

Advertisers know this as well.  There was two commercials in a row and they both had whistling.  The first one came on and I thought wow that's a coincidence I am making a whistling mix.  Then the second one came on and I realized the advertisers had my number.  So I immediately bought some Gerber Baby food and a Subaru Legacy.  You won this round corporate consumption.  Your sweet whistle was like a Siren's song.  It's like that number 23 movie where once you notice it, it seems to be everywhere.  Not sure why that was a bad thing, because I never saw the movie and it's just a number but that's ok, you freak the fuck out about it Jim Carey.

So to celebrate this addiction I made a mix of songs that all feature whistling.  During my "research" (shout out to google) I found that many people feel the same way and were way ahead of me in terms of compiling lists and asking questions like what is more gimmicky whistling or children's choirs?  Most of them had similar songs, so I had to research even further (scroll down farther) and try and find some less famous whistling songs. 


I also googled whistling to find a picture for this post and the dude above came up.  Apparently it's a still from a documentary about a whistling competition in North Carolina.  Sounds like a scenario for a Christopher Guest film.  I am kind of interested in seeing it now.  Especially since it's called, "Pucker Up: The Fine Art of Whistling."
