Comment:
My lover, who enjoys self-deprecatingly referring to himself as a Faulkneresque manchild, only listens to the kind of music you hear in gay dance clubs. Je dTteste. So I threw together a crash course in that old time sound that's rough and real and old, the kind of sadness you don't hear no more . . .(Though I admit that nobody who works French phrases and Faulkner into conversations has any right singin' the blues. But I've been around a long time. People, I've paid my dues.)
Feedback:
Marvellous. Long may you continue, so that we all may benefit from those paid "dues" of yours.
Although I love the Magnetic Fields, Gnarls Barkley, Digable Planets and Bjork picks on your other mix, this is much more up my alley than that "Beepy Crap".
Yep, looks pretty real. Could probably use a few beeps, though. "Marquee Moon" is, of course, the perfect midway point -- no beeps, but lots of guitar blurps that paved the way.
Great mix.
thumbs up to the CCR and Beatles picks
