Very excellent summing up of California's "paisley underground" scene of the 80's. The Kinks-ish first track by the Leopards is a must hear. Much of the output of most of these bands is (as far as I'm aware) out of print, which makes this a great mix for someone (like me) who wasn't too familiar with the Paisely Underground before (though I did already know and love the 60's pop that influenced this scene). Great mix!

Very excellent set of songs on one of the oldest song topics: the train.

Incredible collection of female pop and punk from around the world. Mostly contemporary, all melodic. Includes a few older favorites of mine by Kleenex and X-Ray Spex. The track from the Bulgarian vocal choir is a revelation!
