Comment:

For Melanie, who is neat-o-riffic (translation: dazzingly intelligent with a bone-dry wit, a twinkle in her eye and a propensity for always keeping me on my toes). Title from Lloyd Cole, as Melanie shares her Home County heritage with the girl described in the song.

*cringing* Whooaaa there, tiger! Don't use words like "love" just yet... I can say, however, that based upon the three weeks that I've known her, she's quite worthy of a mix...

Don't Juice to Iggy Pop
Your mix is so like mine
Your mix shouldn't flow like mine
People will say we're in love


Whether it's lurve, love, or terminal lust, it certainly seems to have inspired a killer disk. Those last 5 are killer!

Very nice Rob, nice to see the positive energy flowing.

Love the front and back ends of this...come to think of it the middle's pretty fine too.

Well, Rob, I think you'd be much better off making her a mix like this one, but yours is pretty similar.

I'm trying to imagine your thought process as you sat at the computer and decided which song to go with next, somehow transitioning from "Girl" to "Consolation Prize" to "Asshole," and it's just too mind-boggling. And therein lies the beauty.

Just clicked on Pop Kulcher's link -- now that's what I call love. Go on Rob, she'll melt. "I know I did", said the wicked witch of the west.

i realize that this is a pretty ancient mix, but i had to comment on the choice of "one for the razorbacks" by green day - i'm glad someone else shares my enthusiasm for that song. & great job with the rubber soul choice - hope you successful woo'd your girl
