Comment:

Whenever I'm discussing the merits of mixes on CDR vs. cassette there's one argument in the cassette mix's favor that always gets me. With a CDR you can jump from track to track, breaking up the continuity of the mix, but with a cassette you have to listen to the entire thing the way the mixer intended. I thought I'd experiment with this idea by recreating some favorite cassette mixes on disc. This one is a mix created by Thurston Moore that appeared in the Winter, 2001 volume of MOJO Collections. I dig this one for having many hardcore and post-punk favorites and for turning me onto future faves Judee Sill, Jackson C. Frank and Brigitte Fontaine. Some bizarre stylistic jumps, but quite enjoyable.R2R1 - Youth Culture

That IS a good argument-always was, in favor of the much & oft-maligned cassette.

Have you forgotten the fast forward button? But of course that would be entirely unnecessary with this gem. Nice one, Thurston. You turn us on to everything!
