Comment:

I've been experiencing horrendous connection problems of late (hopefully now sorted for good)this mix was one of several I concocted as a result of having so much additional spare time on me hands. Track 15 was chosen by Mrs; Frenchy who is driving me bananas with her Tim Hardin obsession of late (still it could be worse cos I love Hardin too & 'H' has a somewhat suspect taste in music)I've got Gobi staying with me at the mo so my liver has collapsed & I've only had 7 hours sleep in the past 60 hours, nice to see he ain't changed. Bon Weekend to un et al.

Aint nothin' wrong with a bit of Tim. Im head over heels for that Midlake album too. Don't worry Cliff the liver can regenerate easily. Shane MacGowan told me that and he would know...

Ah, I know this one's going to be a good 'un - I've never yet been disappointed by your mellower mixes and love loads of the picks on here. Always good to see Mogwai on a mix; like the Cocteau Twins, Roddy Frame and Ladybug Transistor too. Hope you and gobi are having a good time, although it sounds like that's pretty much a given! ;)

Wow. I'm also currently loving the Midlake album, thanks to Barry. And the Strands choice is simply wonderful. Infact, there's quite a few tracks on this mix that I'm 'Keane' on..

There is no safe place to be when gobi's in proximity! Your liver looks like a gerkin..., hell, I'm surprised you could steady your hands long enough to type out the tracklist and make some kind of attempt at lucidity in the comments! (Clearly you're not drinking and ____ing enough!)Looks like lots of great/interesting stuff here FC!

Life wouldn't be worth living if it weren't for Tim Hardin obsessions. I enjoyed mine quite thoroughly. Love the cover art... and the beautiful Strands song. Well done.

Like the feel of this one with the Mogwai, Iron & Wine, Frou Frou, ect. Sounds like good times were had.

This one rather makes me feel like some Sufi astronomer: I see more stars here than one would've thought possible. ((If I hadn't been so taken to task the last time I resurrected a "posted-some-time-ago" mix for a Mix of the Week I'd boldly choose this one! Flawless genius.))
