Comment:
Well I guess I got stalled while making this mix... *really really* stalled... and I've been out of commission for four months. Hope this gets the ball rolling again.... This is for my friend Gemma in Chicago, who was kind enough to let me copy quite a bunch of certainly important albums from her stock such as "Closing Time" (Tom Waits), "What Would The Community Think?" (Cat Power), "Oh Me Oh My The Way The Day Goes By" (Devendra Banhart) and, especially, the tragically overlooked "Don Juan's Reckless Daughter" (Joni Mitchell). It's labeled "Rock/Pop" because that's the overarching feel of the mix, even though plenty of the tracks don't fit that description; but it feels to me like a mix created in a rock/pop-centered universe, and for me, for now, that's just fine. (NB: Do not adjust your computer screens, yes that's Liza Minnelli singing a song called "Ring Them Bells" all right, but she's not covering Dylan as many are wont to do; in fact, I'd say the song is in a particular way more uniquely expressive of Jewish-American culture than Dylan would ever be....)Feedback:
Looks tasty. A cut from my favourite Nick Cave album, some Kimya , a killer John Cale track, and a marvellous closer. Tasty indeed.
MANY faves o' mine on this disc!
Excellent!!!
looks like great stuff. Happy Come Home is such a wonderful album.
Welcome back, hope she digs it!
Great stuff here, digging the Nilsson, Eno, Cave, TMBG, Neil, Bowie and Zappa.
Great cuts. Question: Do you know the 17-minute collaboration with Robert Fripp and David Byrne? It starts out with a synthesized version of 'Taps' and then builds and loops. David Byrne says, "Trumpets. I can hear trumpets..." Then he recites various '-isms' in a distinctive manner - 'Ne-O-Lo-Gism. Em-Pi-Ri-A-Cism,' etc. That was my first taste of 'Prog-Rock' when I was fourteen. It was almost life-altering. It's a gorgeous song.
