Comment:

Barry and I have been kicking around the idea of collaborating for a while, and I'm glad we got around to it. We both are fans of the new folk scenes popping up on both sides of the pond. We are both especially fond of the garage-folk sound known as `anti-folk'. Happens that a bunch of kids I went to school with at SUNY Purchase in Westchester County, New York (Jeff Lewis, Kimya Dawson, Anders Griffen, Adam Green, Dufus, Regina Spector.) all happen to be in the middle of this scene that came together at the Sidewalk CafT in the East Village. Barry sent me a bunch of stuff from the US and Europe that has a common vibe. I threw some "roots of anti-folk" tunes (The Fugs, Beat Happening, David Peel, Daniel Johnston) into the mix with some other, newer stuff. Well, enjoy!

Peter Molinari owes me ú4.23. He doesn't remember, but I do, and that's the important thing.This mix is worth at least ú8.76 of anyone's cash. You might not think that's much; but, clearly, Mr. Molinari does. Still, like so many of the artists on the mix he sings a good song; and I guess that's enough to be going on with...

Excellent co-mixing and - for me who knows not a lot on here but who wanted a intro - a great choice of genre. Thanks :)

well Sal's Pizza was mighty tastey indeed. this whole thing is even better than I imagined it would be; besides the pizza, really like 3-5-11-12-14-18-19-20. also forwarded this to some friends who I know will really dig it, and to my co-worker who kept asking what we were listening to. it's the first sunny Seattle morning in about 3 weeks, and this was the perfect music for it.
