First mix in well over a year. Dipping my toes back into the AotM water. Since I never know what's happening with the artwork at AotM, here's the cover art.

A disc comprised mostly of odds and ends left over from the past few mixes I've made. Even the cover image has been sitting on my hard drive for a while.

Comment:
No, this isn't a theme mix about one of the weirdest tragedies ever. It's just a regular disjointed mix. But the title has bounced around my head for years. Ever since I first read about the Molasses Flood I've thought it would make a good name for a bubblegum band ala 1910 Fruitgum Company. Since I don't think I'm going to get around to forming a bubblegum band I might as well use it for a mix title.The short version of the story: On a January afternoon in 1919, 2,320,000 gallons of mollasses flooded the streets of Boston. Cars were overturned, buildings were crushed, and 21 were killed.
Feedback:
that has to be the sweetest disaster ever. dun-dun-tss.this mix is pretty sweet also.
what a tragedy ;), nice mix, wasn't that Joe Jackson on the latest Mike the pike mix too ? That's a strange coincidence
I love mixes that give me a lot of variety. Whenever I see Jimmy Dean, Lavern Baker, Alice Cooper, the Jam, the Dillards, etc. etc., in one mix, I know it's going to be fun. Nice job.
Very cool.
Looks a lot of Sticky Fun (I'm not sure that's gonna come out right)...agree w/u great name for a BGUM band!
Im from Boston, 617 baby, I remember the flood...I think...
A Milly Molly Mandy of a mix.
I remember reading about this disaster in my favorite forgotten zine Murder Can Be Fun. Always good to see some Alice rarities & interesting to see that Joe Jackson & Chris Stamey are still rocking.
The Redwalls. Cool. Didja hear their live set on The Big Beat on 'XRT last week?
Sweet mix indeed! Like the Jam pick, and the ending made me smile...
