Comment:
Here it is, that which I thought I'd never complete before the years end, my best of '07. So what, there's a lot of stuff not actually released in '07. The mix merely reflects my fave tunes from my fave albums acquired this past year & at least half of em were released in the year in question.If I was pushed I'd say the final 3 artists represent my all time fave bands; when you consider I knew none of them 3 years ago, you can see what this site does for ones musical improvement!!! Much love to all the friends I've made these past 4 years, you know who you are.Look out for the new Dreadful Yawns album in May guys. Oh yeh title for the mix courtesy of me mother-in-law, she bought me a bottle of genuine vintage 1914 Absinithe for presenting her with a new baby grand daughter in September, dunno if the gift says more about her than me? I do however look forward to a free w/e when I can im bibe in peace and hang the consequences!!!
Feedback:
Like the Jessica Fletchers, BRMC, and BJM tracks especially!
I dunno much here, but as you say, that is the beauty of AOTM. Bonne AnnTe !
This is great and if your mother-in-law wants another, make sure she sends some more Absinithe.
Welcome to 2008. As it is often said, absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. That Orgone Box song is fabulous as I suspect most of this is, wish I knew more.
Legend has it that that Van Gogh fella cut off his ear drinking Absinthe, try not to do that mon ami as Cliff sans even one lug is a thought too ghastly to contemplate.
By the same token, Absinthe caused me to fall on my face in a bar in Liverpool one night, to the soundtrack of a Frank Sinatra impersonator. Good times mon ami. I digress, this mix is intoxicating enough for me. I'm in your debt for waking me up to the Yawns ergo I need to check out the bands I've not heard on this pronto. Have a great 08 mate.

Best of 08 to ya, Monsieur Connection!
I wish I had Magic Boots. And a copy of this mix.. Terrific round up of a very cool year for choons.
that fact that you discovered your three favorite all time bands in the last three years lends hope to all of us. must check them out. thanks for your 2007 mixes. looking forward to 2008.
Lovin the Caribou, Village Green, BRMC and, of course, the Yawns. Happy New Year my friend.
This looks quite enjoyable, my friend. Best of luck in '08.
I can't say this mix is as good as a bottle of 1914 Absinithe (though it's far superior to a 1919 bottle -- what a crap year that was), but it looks pretty intoxicating to me! Is there a hidden download link anywhere?
Looks like 2007 was a good year. Especially like the Pillbugs, Aliens, Coral, On Trial, Clinic, BRMC, & Dreadful Yawns picks. Looking forward to 2008.
Absinthe ho! Be merry Cliff!
Nice pop stuff here. Love to see Sun Dian, the Pillbugs, BJM, etc.
this looks fucking fantastic, cliff, something i could love to hear in full
Missed this one...and it looks stunning.
Lots of killer shit here. Great mix, Cliff. Hope you're having a great new year....
Wow, this 'un looks great! I'd love to hear it as well.
They say absinthe makes the heart grow fonder ... for more absinthe, I suppose. But with a music addiction already, I don't need another.
Outside of Caribou, The Coral and BRMC don't know muuch about the history of these bands but I wouldn't mind a listen.
Thanks, by the way, for welcoming me to aotm
