Oh, what an aromatic blend, this Potpourri #3! Some so, so scary. Some so, so fun. Dry all the songs, toss them festively in a bowl and you have something titled Awesome. Or at least mildly noteworthy.

tracklist

1	David Bowie : Five Years
	[Favorite song with a number in the title] One of my favorite album openers of all time, I can't imagine another one with a number in its title to begin this mix. SHOW MORE
	Track 1 from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars Length: 00:04:42 Year: 1972
	Track Description: [Favorite song with a number in the title] One of my favorite album openers of all time, I can't imagine another one with a number in its title to begin this mix. SHOW LESS
2	Merle Haggard : The Bottle Let Me Down
	[A good drinking song] I opted against a happy drinking one for a lonely, depressed drunk's tune. Also I love surprising people by whipping this Merle track out at karaoke now and then. SHOW MORE
	Track 2 from Hag: The Best of Merle Haggard Length: 00:02:42 Year: 2006
	Track Description: [A good drinking song] I opted against a happy drinking one for a lonely, depressed drunk's tune. Also I love surprising people by whipping this Merle track out at karaoke now and then. SHOW LESS
3	Josh Martinez : Struts ft. Awol One
	[If you could wear a song as an outfit] Lyrically sampling the Violent Femmes, this track a smooth, fast moving and breezy. As an outfit it'd be a funky little, bright colored dress perfect for dancing. SHOW MORE
	Track 3 from World Famous Sex Buffet Length: 00:03:38 Year: 2008
	Track Description: [If you could wear a song as an outfit] Lyrically sampling the Violent Femmes, this track a smooth, fast moving and breezy. As an outfit it'd be a funky little, bright colored dress perfect for dancing. SHOW LESS
4	Patrick Swayze : She's Like the Wind
	[Favorite song sung by celebrity] Death by Swayze. SHOW MORE
	Track 4 from Dirty Dancing OST Length: 00:03:48 Year: 1987
	Track Description: [Favorite song sung by celebrity] Death by Swayze. SHOW LESS
5	Bob Carlisle : Butterfly Kisses
	[The creepiest song in the world] Normally I listen to my mix as I write these out, but the last song combined with this steaming pile of donkey shit, and I'm sitting in silence. Most people have probably heard this song at a wedding during the father/daughter dance. Some of us with a little more, uh, refined taste would be trying not to vomit into our champagne flutes. This song is creepy from so many angles, but it also just comes down to it being really, really, really shitty. SHOW MORE
	Track 5 from Shades Of Grace Length: 00:05:38 Year: 1997

6	The Blood Brothers : Set Fire to the Face on Fire
	[If a song came on a jukebox during a bar brawl, it should be] Besides being loud and violent, this track has a slower, dragging beat appropriate for inept drunks staggering around throwing punches. SHOW MORE
	Track 6 from Young Machetes Length: 00:02:19 Year: 2006
	Track Description: [If a song came on a jukebox during a bar brawl, it should be] Besides being loud and violent, this track has a slower, dragging beat appropriate for inept drunks staggering around throwing punches. SHOW LESS
7	Boyz II Men : I'll Make Love to You
	[Sappiest or cheesiest love song] Hands down. And what a crazy, gross contrast to the songs before and after. I can't imagine having a significant other put this song on and expect me to feel all tingly in my loins. "Pour the wine, light the fire girl your wish is my command!" SHOW MORE
	Track 7 from Best of Boys II Men Length: 00:03:55 Year: 2003

8	G.G. Allin : Expose Yourself to Kids
	[Most Obscene Song] I can't even read through these lyrics, let alone listen to the song, without thinking I'm going to be busted by Dateline's "To Catch a Predator". Honestly some of the most fucked up lyrics I've ever seen. Read on and feel inspired! Let's fuck some kids, they can't say no Molest them now before they grow Threaten them with oral sex Expose yourself to incest 'Cause it's alright to expose yourself to kids Do it now before they grow up and it's too late Find an elementary school at recess time Pull your pecker in front of them and masturbate Suck a little hairless crack Hold 'em down, they can't fight back Watch 'em scream and cry with fear Fucking cunt don't tell nobody dear 'Cause it's alright to expose yourself to kids Do it now before they grow up and it's too late Find an elementary school at recess time Pull your pecker in front of them and masturbate Alright, expose yourself to kids Do it now before they grow up and it's too late Find an elementary school at recess time Pull your pecker in front of them and masturbate Say I'm a pervert, it's OK Hey!

10	Yelle : Je veux te Voir
	[Attack of the Synth] This was one of my songs of the summer. Sassy, saucy, synthy and French. One of the lyrics awesomely translates to "Your posters of Lil’ Jon cover those of Magic Johnson You’re too crunk to slam dunk." SHOW MORE
	Track 10 from Je veux te Voir Length: 00:04:21 Year: 2006

11	Feist : 1234
	[A song that’s been ruined by oversaturation] I used to love this song. Damn you, Apple! Not my Feist!! SHOW MORE
	Track 11 from 1234-Single Length: 00:03:03 Year: 2007
	Track Description: [A song that’s been ruined by oversaturation] I used to love this song. Damn you, Apple! Not my Feist!! SHOW LESS
12	Iron and Wine/Calexico : He Lays in the Reins
	[A song that makes you feel pretty] I've had a love affair with this song, or really this entire album, since it came out. The soft, simple voice of I&W's Sam Beam paired with the rich layers of Calexico make this a rustic, romantic, dreamy song. SHOW MORE
	Track 12 from In The Reins Length: 00:03:43 Year: 2005

14	The Beatles : Blackbird
	[A song your Grandkids should know about] I thought about choosing something a little less obvious for this but really, it's a good starting point if any. You can't go wrong with the White Album. And there are chirping birds! Yay! SHOW MORE
	Track 14 from The Beatles (White Album) Length: 00:02:18 Year: 1968

15	Television : Friction
	[A song you should have listened to growing up, but didn’t] This would have weaned me away from my parent's classic rock influence and ushered the early days of punk into my impressionable brain. Who knows how much more awesome I'd be if I'd been fed Television at an early age? The mind reels. SHOW MORE

By far the best mix on the block! Awesome.

I couldn't read more than four sentences with #8. I feel like vomitting now. I didn't think anyone could beat Sledg's most obscene.... but wow. You win hands down.
