The Dork Group presents Check Out My Mixtape
Today's publication - we'll be bringing you back to The Dork Group's roots. Most of the earlier publications here were deep-seated in music, and the music culture. But, that was when music was still a free-for-all mess and you could post pretty much everyone's copyrighted material with little retribution. What a time to be alive...
Since then - there have been a lot of DMCA take-downs, cease and desist letters and emails aimed in my direction. I, myself have reverted a lot of earlier posts to drafts because of these legal orders. And it is with just cause. The artist should be paid.
I am very glad to see the artists creating their own streaming industry with TIDAL, but wonder if it's a little too late?
Anyway, I wish them all the best of luck and I hope music industry can get back to an actual art form once again, where there is more interest in making good music than making a lot of money... yeah, I laughed out loud myself after that comment.
And on that bombshell - I don't have a specific genre or direction with today's publication, I just figured I would browse through my YouTube Channel and post a little from my Favorites Playlist. Enjoy.

The Rolling Stones - Waiting On A Friend
Watching girls go passing by
It ain't the latest thing
I'm just standing in a doorway
I'm just trying to make some sense
Out of these girls go passing by
The tales they tell of men
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
A smile relieves a heart that grieves
Remember what I said
I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
I'm just waiting on a friend
Don't need a whore
I don't need no booze
Don't need a virgin priest
But I need someone I can cry to
I need someone to protect
Making love and breaking hearts
It is a game for youth
But I'm not waiting on a lady
I'm just waiting on a friend
Paul McCartney & Wings - Uncle Albert / Admiral Halsey
We're so sorry, uncle Albert,
We're so sorry if we caused you any pain.
We're so sorry, uncle Albert,
But there's no one left at home
And i believe i'm gonna rain.
We're so sorry but we haven't heard a thing all day,
We're so sorry, uncle Albert,
But if anything should happen
We'll be sure to give a ring.
"we're so sorry, uncle Albert,
But we haven't done a bloody thing all day.
We're so sorry, uncle Albert,
But the kettle's on the boil
And we're so easily called away."
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,
Doo-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh,
Uh-uh -
Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.
Admiral Halsey notified me,
He had to have a berth or he couldn't get to sea.
I had another look and i had a cup of tea and a butter pie.
"couldn't put it in something else
So i pulled it in the pie, alright!"
Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around.
Live a little, be a gypsy, get around,
Get your feet up off the ground,
Live a little, get around.
Hands across the water, heads across the sky,
Hands across the water, heads across the sky.
George Harrison - Mama You've Been On My Mind (Bob Dylan / Living In The Material World)
Perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat
An’ cov’rin’ the crossroads I’m standing at
Or maybe it’s the weather or something like that
But mama, you been on my mind
I don’t mean trouble, please don’t put me down or get upset
I am not pleadin’ or sayin’, I can’t forget
I do not walk the floor bowed down an’ bent, but yet
Mama, you been on my mind
Even though my mind is hazy an’ my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you been don’t bother me nor bring me down in sorrow
It don’t even matter to me where you’re wakin’ up tomorrow
But mama, you’re just on my mind
I am not askin’ you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I got no place for you t’ go
I’m just breathin’ to myself, pretendin’ not that I don’t know
Mama, you been on my mind
When you wake up in the mornin’, baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won’t be next to you, you know I won’t be near
I’d just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
As someone who has had you on his mind
Nicole Atkins - War Torn
Maybe I've been fooling myself
For thinking you should come back
And my last letter's going to break
All of the bridges we've spent years to make
All I can do is explain
All of the reasons I cannot stay
I've been to the front lines
And now there's no trace of hope left inside
I've been taken too far
I cracked when I tried to press my luck
Hoping you'd come pick me up
But my heart is war torn, war torn
If one's born into battle
And doesn't know any other kind of life
How could the battle seem so bad
When its all you've known and all you've had
I've been taken too far
I cracked when I tried to press my luck
Hoping you'd come pick me up
But my heart is war torn
War torn
This love is war torn
Royal Blood - Out of the Black
How did it feel when it came alive and took you?
Out of the black
It broke your skin and shook through
Every part of me, every part of you
You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don’t breathe when I talk
Cos you haven’t been spoken to
I’ve got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart beating blood from an empty pocket
I never knew why
And you didn’t care when
It closed every door
And washed away no sin
And I promised you
Like you promised me
But those vows we made
Fucked it up for free
You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don’t breathe when I talk
Cos you haven’t been spoken to
I’ve got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart bleeding blood from an empty pocket
You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don’t breathe when I talk
Cos you haven’t been spoken to
I’ve got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart bleeding blood from an empty pocket
And it tortures slow
Never let’s you go
Deals a crooked hand
alt-J - Breezeblocks
She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Cetirizine your fever's gripped me again
Never kisses—all you ever send are full stops, la, la, la
Do you know where the wild things go?
They go along to take your honey, la, la, la
Break down, now weep,
Build up breakfast, now let's eat
My love, my love, love, love, la, la, la
Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
Do you know where the wild things go?
They go along to take your honey, la, la, la
Break down, now sleep
Build up breakfast, now let's eat
My love my love, love, love
She bruises, coughs, she splutters pistol shots
Hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
She's morphine, queen of my vaccine
My love, my love, love, love, la, la, la
Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
The fear has gripped me but here I go
My heart sinks as I jump up
Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
She may contain the urge to run away
But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
Germolene, disinfect the scene
My love, my love, love, love
But please don't go, I love you so, my lovely
Please don't go, please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart, hey
Please don't go, please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, please don't go
I love you so, I love you so
Please break my heart
Please don't go, I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so, I love you so, I love you so
I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so
I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so
I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so, I love you so
Please don't go, I'll eat you whole
I love you so, I love you so, I love you so
Ennio Morricone - The Ecstasy of Gold
Volbeat - 16 Dollars
16 dollars in a back street corner is enough for a beautiful day
I see a window open hearing Aerosmith rocking with
Dick Brave "Walk This Way"
I need a quick drink more volume for the beat
I see the cats are playing dice
It's 7 in the morning and you lost all your money
To a fat lady singing boogie woogie chili honey
I've been walking the streets again
But it's the same old thing I'll do it again
Just to see what the day will bring
But it's the same old song I'll do it again
I'll bring you home my baby I will
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
16 hours on my back in a corner and an empty bottle of Jack and a bitch
Well I'm sorry to inform you that the poison in my body guiding you
To walk away from this mess
I need a quick drink more volume for the beat
I see the cats are playing dice
It's 7 in the morning and you lost all your money
To a fat lady singing boogie woogie chili honey
I've been walking the streets again
But it's the same old thing I'll do it again
Just to see what the day will bring
But it's the same old song I'll do it again
I'll bring you home my baby I will
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
16 dollars in a back street corner is enough for a beautiful day
I see a window open hearing Aerosmith rocking with
Dick Brave "Walk This Way"
I need a quick drink more volume for the beat
I see the cats are playing dice
It's 7 in the morning and you lost all your money
To a fat lady singing boogie woogie chili honey
I've been walking the streets again
But it's the same old thing I'll do it again
Just to see what the day will bring
But it's the same old song I'll do it again
I'll bring you home my baby I will
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
I would love to bring you home
Madvillain - All Caps
So nasty that it's probably somewhat of a travesty having me
Daily told the people "You can call me Your Majesty!"
Keep your battery charged
You know it won't stick, yo
And it's not his fault you kick slow
Should've let your trick 'ho chick hold your sick glow
Plus nobody couldn't do nothin' once he let the brick go
And you know I know that's a bunch of snow
The beat is so butter
Peep the slow cutter
As he utter the calm flow (Your mother)
Don't talk about my moms, yo
Sometimes he rhyme quick, sometimes he rhyme slow
Or vice versa
Whip up a slice of nice verse pie
Hit it on the first try
Villain: the worst guy
Spot hot tracks like spot a pair of fat asses
Shots of the scotch from out of square shot glasses
And he won't stop 'til he got the masses
And show 'em what they know not through flows of hot molasses
Do it like the robot to headspin to boogaloo
Took a few minutes to convince the average bug-a-boo
It's ugly, like look at you
It's a damn shame
Just remember ALL CAPS when you spell the man name
And you know it like a poet, like baby doll
I bet she tried to say she gave me her all, she played ball
All bets off! The Villain got the dice rigged
And they say he accosted the man with the sliced wig
Allegedly; the investigation is still ongoing
In this pesky nation he gots the best con flowin'
The pot doubles, now they really got troubles
Madman never go *pop!* like snot bubbles
Passenger - Let Her Go
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you’re missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Staring at the bottom of your glass
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much
And you dived too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
And you let her go (oh, oh, ooh, oh no)
Will you let her go?
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missin' home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Fleet Foxes- Montezuma
So now I am older than my mother and father
when they had their daughter
now what does that say about me
Oh how could I dream of such a selfless and true love
could I wash my hands of
just looking out for me
Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
In dearth or in excess
both the slave and the empress
will return to the dirt I guess, naked as when they came
I wonder if I'll see any faces above me
or just cracks in the ceiling
nobody else to blame
Oh man what I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
Oh man that I used to be
Oh man oh my oh me
Gold teeth and gold jewelry
every piece of your dowry
throw them into the tomb with me
bury them with my name
Unless I have someday
Ran my wandering mind away
Oh man what I used to be
Montezuma to Tripoli
Oh man oh my oh me
Holy Fuck - Red Lights
Metallica - Orion - Through The Never Credits
I hate to cut this publication short, but I've got a huge project that I am about to roll out. Some significant changes are about to be made here at The Dork Group and some of my other social sites. But, I promise I will be back with more content very shortly.
I thank you for your time - and I wish you the best with all that you do - and I will see you all again very soon.
