"Track numbers are mere gestures". You may well be right; and yet they are a blessing for those of us that need these markers of transition, these bold headings in the appendices of our musical research.This mix is no "easy listen" but, by all the saints, it's worth it.Another Curtis Burns Class ends; and what have we learned today? A great deal. Yes, that's what this is - a great deal.

I have often thought that track numbers just get in the way (actually Gene taught me that and I thought I would share).

Curtis, one day I will need your consultation on all things music.

Despite my best efforts, I remain utterly uninformed.

Curtis, are you still there? It's only me again. Just finished listening and my head hurts -- but in a good way. God knows what dreams may come tonight. You'll be hearing from my solicitor.

Yes. With a mix like this they [track numbers] are merely gestures, as everything
runs together in a sort of Burnsian soupy goulash that bring the ears much enjoyment.

Further, if one has or makes, [the latter being harder & harder to do these days
what with the kiddies getting older and the world getting smaller] the time to listen
without a pause, either to answer the phone, partake of a meal, or even relieve oneself
(and believe me I've wet my boxers more than once whilst firmly entrenched within the aural
delights of Curtis' classic cuts) then track numbers are not only merely gestures but
completely without any rational purpose or use whatsoever.

If, one the other hand, one does not take the time to listen, nonstop, from beginning
to end, but instead pauses the mix at some logical point with the sincere intention of pressing
play' at some preordained (or spontaneous) future moment in the time continuum on which we all
labor (with brief 48 hour respites in-between ruts), then track number become vital and necessary
appendices along the Bursian Aural Ghant Chart (henceforth BAGC) by which one may access
the point at which the mix was momentarily (a relative term indeed, if I've ever heard
one) halted and begin the journey afresh to [hopefully] it's conclusion at that inevitable
point-in-time when the digital readout reverts back to "zero" and the laser makes that
little "RRRrrrrtt" sound which gives signal to the eardrums that this latest piece of
delight has indeed reached its conclusion.
That being said...merely having this mix in one's possession would, I imagine astronomically
enhance one's chances of getting laid, as at least someone has previously pointed out
(as, uhh...long as the author himself was not actually present at the moment due to
certain physical feature that, as Curtis himself has pointed out in another mix-thread, keep
the ladies "coming back"). And, btw, I DO likes the looks of this my good man.

Aah, g.a.b. is much too kind. Now, as for this incontinence, I offer no cure, but it seems to me there are at least two palliatives, Depends or and iPod (or any other portable MP3 playing device of your choosing). Go with the iPod I say and let me know if you have any luck getting it's purchase covered by your health care provider.

Once again, we here at AotM are taught that that the boundaries cna be endlessly pushed! Four Tet always make for a good opener, and seeing the Boredoms there has reminded me that I have to try getting into them again. Fantastic all round.
