Comment:

Another quick one almost completely filled with new acquisitions of mine. This is quite the rollicking listening ride. Thanks to SwankQueen for the Betty Davis track and to lo-fi jr for the Greg Sage and Kendra Smith tracks (he hipped me to the Debris' and Monster Magnet tracks, as well). Title by Mr. Cocker. (Note: Anthony wasn't hallucinating--there *was* a Stone Roses song where Taj Mahal now resides. It just didn't fit the way I wanted it to fit....)

"that's the way" is probably my all-time favorite zeppelin song - great tracks from ATCQ, the stone roses, nick lowe & the pretenders too.

As if you aren't generally a "busy little monkey making mixes", Rob ... intriguing as usual. Always love to see the Raincoats and Rick Danko!

Busy monkey, indeed. And continuing down the path of preparing mixed-genre mixes that go far beyond my (apparently narrower than I like to believe) musical knowledge. So I'll have to take it on faith that this is great.

I love the title. Know quite little on here but love 6,8,13 & 21. Heed bears advice as well! ( Although it's fairly near Norwich, Barrys city of choice )...

Bear is correct stay away from Ipswich, vile place. Norwich aint much better but we all gotta live somewhere. I know very little here Rob. But love the Tribe and Cutler picks.

Ooh, I like, I like. The Pretenders -> Tribe Called Quest section is really nice; like the Raincoats too and it's good to see Jarvis Cocker included there too. Great stuff as always!

I know about four of these songs, so you're shopping in a different section than I am. Like your Quest and Zep selections as well.

Jesus Christ, Rob. This looks sooooo fucking great, dude. The opening stretch from Annette Peacock->Zeppelin is jaw-dropping, as well as the rest of this mix. I'm having a hard time getting into the new Hold Steady disc, for some reason though.

Jarvis Cocker,Taj Mahal and the Half-Japanese into the Tribe track all makes for a pimpin' good time.

I love that opener... it's my theme song. I also like the Ivor, Kendra, Half Japanese & Zeppelin tidbits too. I have a friend who lives in Ipswich, Massachusetts. But Jarvis is probably referring to the town in Suffolk, East Anglia, in that boring country over there.
