Track 31: "Almost Gold" by The Jesus & Mary Chain

Yeah, I know I used J&M Chain on my last mix, but it just felt like too perfect a coda for this new one, so I couldn't resist. "The Ooh Ooh Song" and "Wish I Was Skinny" came straight from other people's mixes on AOTM, so I feel I should dole out credit, but I can't exactly remember where I got them, so thanks instead to everyone who contributes to this site. You guys are a big inspiration and your love of music is hopelessly contagious :)

The bittersweet tone of this is deliberate but happened by accident at first, when I realized that a lot of the music I'd been listening to lately had the same beautiful, smiling yet melancholy underlining. In that context, Louis Armstrong doesn't really belong on here, but I wanted to start on a purely happy note, but a distant one, more like a memory of good times, and just let the rest of the mix blow in the wind with its various moods and pleasures

Good work Mike, Good to see some Swedes creeping in. That Boo Radleys song is solid gold. 5,8,9,24,25,27,30 and 31 are also glorious.

"your love of music is hopelessly contagious" -- Well Mike, your love of music is here for all to see. Barrydali's observation about The Boo Radleys' song is spot on. This mix is a feast. I'll grab me knife and fork...

There's a lot here I don't know, but what I do certainly makes this an interesting mix.
