Comment:

I'm going to Niagara-on-the-Lake with my wife for a long weekend to celebrate our 5th anniversary so I made this for the drive. She has just had a miscarriage and we have been so very sad. I tried to make a disk that will cheer her up because we have had one of the most depressing weeks in our lives. I think that this has some melancholy moments that will fit our mood and some that we can sing along to while driving to make us forget our sadness. I will have to make another disk because it is a four hour drive so this is disk one. Title taken from the BRMC song.

Mixed emotions here.., a lot of great tracks though. The BRMC-BJM-Telescopes is a mighty triumvirate, and the inclusion of Moose is Hail-worthy! Best wishes on your long weekend!

Sorry to hear about the reasons for your vacation, but I certainly hope that your trip is relaxing and that this mix provides some comfort in the meantime. If you want to grab a beer or a bite sometime to unwind, feel free to drop me a line. Great opener, btw, along with other goodies here.

Deepest sympathies. But, congrats on the five year anniversary! (insert the "right" words, here...cause I am feeling woefully inadequate).

My thoughts are with you. Me & my partner went through the same a couple of years ago. We ended up going on holiday a month later and ( although occasionally felt guilty about it ) had a great time. Time'll heal.. Fine mix btw
