Comment:
Wow, what a month...such wonderful music to my ears. Sorry for the Switchfoot - I used to hate them, but they have a spanking new single that just came out of nowhere with power pop awesomeness. Sorry also for Poison - they don't really fit anywhere on the mix, but I've been trying to find a place for that song for a while now. Lame, yes, but so fist-pumpingly entertaining. It's hard to decide what the centerpiece here is, since I love so many of the songs - I'm inclined to say Wreckless Eric, as it inspired the mix (I hadn't thought about it in years, until I heard it used in "Stranger Than Fiction") and is an unheralded masterpiece, but there's also the joyful bombast of Portastatic and Switchfoot, the Queen-esque music hall throwdown of Mika, the destined-to-be-a-lost-classic track by The Oohlas that packs in more catchy moments than you could ever want, the transcendental qualities of the last 7 tracks, and Roxette, the most unlikely revival of the year. I didn't even think they were still a band, but then here comes this simply perfect dance pop single and suddenly I'm hooked on Roxette like it's 1990 all over again.All in all, I'm in music ecstasy, as always :)
