Comment:

Reprise of the non-sequiteur mix. I thimk that is how it is spelled. I thought this volume was going to be the end of the series. And I had no idea what to do. So this is probably what is popular referred to as a random mix. Yet, there are moments of jelly that are nothing short of superserendipity. Particular attention should be given to the JC Superstar/Kiss coupling as there are a lot of cuts here that I wouldn't listen to save for what happened on this mix. It is kind of like something to listen to when you can't make up your mind what to listen to. The cover is based upon these coils we burn to ward off mosquitoes. So, yeah, maybe this is kind of a Spring mix. One burning coil is equal to something like 240 cigarettes being burned at once. I light one and go to sleep and dream of death by smoke inhalation. But no one dies in their dreams, right? And it won't kill you to listen to this. If you look at the asian characters on the right of the cover, you will see my name in Japanese. It is a strange language. That particular kanji doesn't exist in the language, but I registered it at the City Hall, and it is now an official word in Japanese. It is kind of goofy and so is this mix. Appropriately, the mix has not been upgraded to high quality to retain that AM radio sound. Put it in your car and turn it up.

Oh dear, Jon. You have released the anal retentive spelling demon that lurks beneath. It's non-sequitur. I may have irreparably damaged any perceived (at least on my side) friendship between us. So be it. As you know I am a great fan of your mixes. If for no other reason than their content. The previous sentence is sooo ridiculous that I love it, and I shall leave it alone. It is fitting that you have added to the Japanese language. I salute you. Furthermore, unless you copyright "no-one dies in their dreams" immediately, I may have to steal it and claim it as a mix title in the near future. You must watch these points...

Well, jonpoi, any cover with "Supersonic fighting cocks" is simply worth a listen. And doggon it, I appreciate random mixes. They are like life, and when they work "Shabuki" (is that phonetic spelling for a japanese (shoot - maybe chinese) term meaning "happy accident???
