Comment:
A reflective mix about a return to my roots, both musically and geographically (with a thread about conflict, both personal and global). I recently moved to the neighborhood my extended family had occupied since they were "off the boat". While almost everyone escaped to the suburbs, I've come full circle by leaving the safe prison of a well-policed, nosy, boring, stuck-up, narrow hamlet by the marina in favor of this beat little block where I lived 'til I was 3 years old. It's surprisingly relaxed & comfortable here, like a well-worn favorite article of clothing. (Thanks to RC for tech-ing and request fulfillment, and for the Eden Ahbez bit he left on my tracklist, plus the Byrds alt version.) The hope is in the proles!Feedback:
This is a really great, spiffy, perky (by your standards) mix. I really, really seriously dig it and it provided me with smashing listening for the first 80 minutes of my return trip. I love you and am happy that I could help. I'm glad that you like that alternate version of the Byrds hit, as well. ;-)
this looks really cool - love the queen-jam-clash stretch, as well as the stones, damned, & byrds tracks.
Way to get by to your roots. Love Street Fighting Man, Kind of a Drag and Eight Miles High.
love the gabriel and buckinghams.
I love the 10-14 run, and the Buckinghams, Queen, Jam, Clash, just chock full of favorites
Great stuff, The Specials, The Damned. Eden Ahbez ! Cool.
Looks nice - Clash, Damned, Specials, Peter Gabriel...and Run-DMC!
Vey cool, diggin the 3-6 and 10-14 runs and the Byrds track especially.
Very excellent! 3-8 & 10-14 are my top picks...
Looks great - I especially love the Run-DMC through The Damed stretch!!
Who says you can't go home again? Certainly not you. Fine root-sy mix, madam queenie.
Yeah, that 4-10 run is killer. You can't go wrong with King Sunny.
I haven't heard (or thought about) that Peter Gabriel song in years. Nice choice

Real, real good mix. That 4 to 10 stretch is killer as Jenny pointed out. Also digging that 12-13 combo.
Kind of a drag this ain't.Jive Talkin followed by Street Fighting Man,I love that pairing.
wow 3-6 and 8,11-14 are among my fav songs
this looks like fun, especially the first half or so.
The Clash & The Slits & The Rolling Stones are some of our faves.
What a great mix! I love that David Sylvian song, I've been meaning to digitize it from an old Japan EP for some time now.
