Like Oxygen Spontaneously Becoming Gold
Comment:
Track 31: "Almost Gold" by The Jesus & Mary ChainYeah, 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
Feedback:
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...
it's so nice when Bobby Gentry and Glen Campbell sing together.
There's a lot here I don't know, but what I do certainly makes this an interesting mix.
