Circle jerk redux


This is a revisited version of this theme mix I posted in June last year. I've never been entirely content with it, which I've expressed in the past, and now I couldn't hold it in any longer. I had to change it and improve it.

As I said in the original post, I'm not entire sure Ozzy, Beach Boys and Isolation Years are really named after Ozzy Osbourne, The Beach Boys and Isolation Years, but I'm pretty sure they are.

New additions are Nick Cave, Josh Rouse, Weezer, The Posies, Ray LaMontagne, David Bowie and Led Zeppelin. How I could overlook those the first time is a mystery.

The Norah Jones version (presumably from the House of Blues) is good, but can't get anywhere near the Band's original.
