Comment:
Put out your tongue, stick your hands in the air, make a peace sign like you just don't care! Resurrection shuffle's where it all began for me, the first single I ever bought (well my dad bought it for me at my request) The Steve Harley track is one of My wife's fave tracks & I somehow can't listen to that Nick Lowe track without pairing it with Girls Talk! Brendan Benson just seemed to fit nicely with the previous 2 tracks. 6-10 is just me being me & the stuff thereafter is some of my recent purchases. Track 19 is my own funny little frog's current most played tune & the closer is for her too, so what, it was used in the Muller commercial it's still a top tune. Oh & yeh the title of the mix is a play on the Brendan Benson song title cos I don't feel like myself at the mo, fact is I feel like shit, caught a bug that's circulating round the French countryside & my chakra could certainly do with realigning. Why I wrote these liner notes is beyond me, I usually reserve such waffle for mixes that deserve to be accompanied by a decent explanation. Bon Weekend toute le monde.
Feedback:
Nice one, Cliff--bringing back memories. I loved that whole Lowe/Edmunds Rockpile synergy; + writing & trading & produing tunes with E. Costello- those were the days (for me) hanging out & dancing

Wonderful. From top to tail -- wonderful.
Nice!!!
This has a really nice flow to it.
The Sonics...The Sonics...The Sonics....

Nice way to spend 80 mins, indeed.
Very nice. I'm with g.a.b. on the Lowe/Edmunds/Costello (Difford/Tilbrook) axis. Feel better Cliff.
This mix exudes excellence. I love it.
nothing here to not like . . . . nice jobee. Hope you feel better mate - miserable being ill in Feb . . . maybe do another mix? You are certainly on a quality roll even if your Chakra's outa tune.
Agreed about the Lowe/Edmunds/Benson connection - that's pop rock gold. It's almost scary to see all these excellent yet not necessarily similar artists together on a mix. Tracks 13-19 especially are just such an odd yet satisfying group; well done
A great opening to what looks like what Thomas said.
That closing segment of Animal Collective to Nina Simone sounds amazing, at least in my head. Cool mix.
Pretty damn special Cliff, This should cure whatever ails ya!
You do very good when you are very bad! I too think any mix with "3 to 4" is on it's way to perfection. Nice Mix.
I like it! Definitely echo Salman on that closing stretch, and the Elbow -> Sparks is cool. Excellent all round.
Your chakra may be kiltered off, but this mix is as clear as a bell. Fan-damn-tastic.
This looks pretty awesome indeed, Cliff. I'll be getting in touch w/you soon about putting together some sort of trade, my friend.
Oh Cliff! You're glowing! No Chakra con here.
Cliff, your tastes merged with the Mrs.' makes for a marriage made in music. I salute you (both).
Your chakra looks in tune to me Cliff. When you feel better let me know so I can add this to my French Connection greatest mixes collection.
Lots to like here Cliff.
A lotta' great stuff, though I'm not sure it'll help tune your chakras; might make 'em bend with all the fruggin' you'd be doin'...(that's f-R-u-g-g-i-n'....with an "r")
Great!!
Get better soon Cliff. Terrific tunes here.
Nick & Dave yeah! & as for "Baby Please Don't Go" - don't it make you imagine the Beatles w/ Lennon-Zappa instead of Lennon-McCartney?
Love the funny little frog closing numbers.

Love the Rogue Wave and Animal Collective tracks, love 'em together. Nice Benson and B&S selections, too. Can't go wrong with a Simone closer.
