Comment:

Normally, I listen to straightforward garage rock, but every now and again, possibly as I have no money for new records at the moment, I attempt to make a pretentious rhythm driven mix. An expose into the groove, the drum and the ever present concept of the "beat"

(I told you it was pretentious...)

Pretentious? If this is pretentious, then I want to get my PhD studying this!

Great mix. Glad to see the Surfaris on here as well as Rufus Thomas. 'Itch and Scratch' is a killer track!

Oh yeah baby! If I need to drink red Zinfandel and deconstruct Cassavettes to listen to this, it's worth it. And I'm with kwan_dk on the Surfaris & Rufus.

Would it be too pretentious to say I dig this beatnik bongo beat groove ? okay, then, but I do . . . Moondog leads the way!
