Comment:
My latest alt-DJ collaboration, this time with the supremely estimable (and criminally overlooked/seriously underrated around these parts) pf. I took the odds, he took the evens, and it was a rollickingly subdued ride to an uneasy nirvana. Title from Mr. Waits.Feedback:
Nice, likin 1-3, 8-10, 21 & 25
eclectic as hell
Well, once you start a song with "Fox On The Run," nowhere to go but down... yet still holds together nonetheless. I like seeing Wings' underrated Back To The Egg make a rare appearance in particular.
' . . . for fox sake . . . !'
Lots to enjoy here (8, 9, 10 is a great stretch), but sorry, for me Soft Cell's bedsitter is one of the worst things that they ever released . . .never mind cos 19 to 23 is also a belter section . . .

Ooh The Fire Engines ****kin' fantastic. Bounces around beautifully.
eclectic is an understatement: this is sprawling. great songs all around though, esp. love the tom waits, iggy pop, minutemen & prince tracks.
A fine effort guys. Like 16-19 a lot.
Very nice!
nice mixture guys, its one of the things i like about joint mixes. the randomness. & a great start, very underrated band.
Wild ride hear. Like Gobi, 8-10 jumped out at me.
Haha! I was wondering what you'd put between Mr. Pop and Ms. Watley. Nicely done, Rob. Thanks again for the opportunity to play this Alt-DJ game and I can't wait to hear the final product myself. Fun!
very nice. love the johnston pick.
Really excellent stuff here, guys - good work! I very much agree with mr. slippery over there about alt-DJ collaborations and the genre-mixing they tend to produce - it's always really interesting to see. Good choice on the Beat Happening, and love the Thompson, Waits and Minutemen too!
I don't understand "seriously underrated." Do people around here have "ratings"? ;-)
works well indeed.
Looks like I have a rival for the title of 'Most Prolific AOTM Alternator', which is great news if mixes like this are appearing. Love the 15-17, and I've always quite liked Bedsitter. I'll be keeping a more vigilant eye on Pf's mixes from now on...
been meaning to comment on this all day, but too busy at work. needless to say, a KILLER alt-dj mix from two of my favorite mixers. gotta say I LOVE the 10-14 stretch especially. gah, rob, I PROMISE I will get some trax headed yr way soon for a similar project.
Bloody excellent! Love that end run.
This is one of the more interesting collaborative efforts I've seen posted here. Not often that Jody Watley, Wings and Stereolab are seen at the same party.
I agree with Moe! Looks like a great listen.
Looks like a blast. I've got my radar on pf mixes from now on.
Christ what a monster of a mix. Props to both of you. Love the title!
Yeah, killer alt-dj mix.
Who the heck is pf? He must be good. I'm thrilled to see Cypress Hill, Wings, and JB Lenoir together. Wait are those all odds? Oh yes and 20, 22, 24 as well. (kidding). Teamwork prevails!
This looks excellent, kids. And pf, I have had a quick look through your old stuff and I have indeed been missing out.
Think I meant to comment on this at the time and couldn't. It's nutso and great.
Stellar!
