Hola, Sneakers and music lovers everywhere! Welcome to the first episode of our Listening Party! This podcast is an attempt to document the 400+ songs that made up the Sneaky Dragon Mixtape Project undertaken by Dave starting in 2015. Did you send in a blank CD-R to get a mixtape? Have you ever wondered why you were sent the songs you got on your mixtape? Did you ever wonder what songs other people got on their mixtapes? Well, we hope we can answer these questions and many more on our first spin-off from the Sneaky Dragon podcast!

So, join Dave and his daughter Mary as they sit on the floor by the old record player, chatting and listening to some great songs from Dave’s extensive music collection.

This week, we take a look at “Side One” of Liam Penton’s mixtape. The final selection was burned to disc on the 11th of November, 2015. Unfortunately, during our talk, we missed some songs that had mysteriously disappeared from the iTunes playlist we used for reference during the taping, but fortunately, they were recorded in our notes and on the playlist CD cover so we’ll discuss those songs in Episode 2. (The missing songs are marked with an asterisk.)

Here are the songs from Side One of Liam’s mixtape:

* A.C. Newman – “On the Table” (from The Slow Wonder, 2004)

* The Five Americans – “Western Union” (from Western Union, 1967)*

* Roxy – “Love, Love, Love” (from Roxy, 1969)

* Denny Laine – “Say You Don’t Mind” (from Acid Drops, Spacedust & Flying Saucers, 2001)*

* Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks – “Ramp of Death” (from Pig Lib, 2003)

* Otis Clay – “That’s How It Is When You’re In Love” (from Testify!, 1967)

* Judy Kelly – “Window” (from Wayfaring Strangers: Ladies from the Canyon, 2006)

* The Ballroom – “Spinning, Spinning, Spinning” (from Magic Time, 1967)

* The Move – “Beautiful Daughter” (from Shazam, 1969)

* The Meat Puppets – “Up on the Sun” (from Up on the Sun, 1985)
