Comment:

Nothing that special, but I wanted to try my hand at a grandiose play-type story, even though a lof of this music is low-key and not very theatrical. Either way, I fulfilled my duty to myself, to make mixes full of music I really like. That's always my fallback excuse, in case my ideas fail, as you can see here

My word, what a mix! Great choices to be found all over this Mike. I can see your loving the current Belle & Seb as much as me also.

thanks for your comment. i really am completely nervous about giving it to them, so the feedback is very appreciated. my boyfriend and i make mixes for each other a lot, and we both almost always include notes about why we put the songs on the mix. it makes it a little more personal, you know?
this mix is so long, did you put it on a 120 minute tape? or did you find something even longer?

Wow, and it ain't over till the fat lady sings... I would not have thought to put some of these together, but going one by one, they work... Overjoyed to see THAT Bruce, and Shadows of Knight, and Patti Smith, and OMD, and -- I'll have to admit it right now. I never heard of Belle & Sebastian till I have spent some time here. un-Listed-To & Unheard I have bought it... Am crossing my fingers!

"grandiose" may be understating. Raise the curtains!

An epic indeed. And kind of all over the place... like our lives tend to be.
