#02 Smoking Guns

Will the popularity of "Paper Planes" bring back a renaissance of guns sounds in popular music? This internet blogger doesn't know for sure, but it seems like reason enough for a gun-themed mix. This week we find ourselves in a violent, twisted crime drama filled with gun shots, snare drums, and Nancy Sinatra. It's the same old story: boy finds gun, takes gun to town, murder, death, rebirth, etcetera, etcetera. You can fill in the details.

02 The Clash - "Tommy Gun"
03 Ice Cube - "My Summer Vacation"

  1. Awesome! I made a gun themed mix too although I think yours is better. I had "Bang Bang my baby shot me down" on it also except the Sunny & Cher version.
