Comment:

This bastard took ages to nail, of late, I seem to get half way through mix ideas and then it all falls apart, consequently I've heaps of half finished mixes on the go. Figured I'd gone as far as I could with this un so called time on it before it drove me even more insane! Thanks to Valis for hipping me to 'Lions In The Street,' fantastic riffs reminiscent of the Stones in their heyday.

Really cool, and quite a ride - I have to say that I actually really liked reading about the "mixing process" in your liner notes too! Love most of the trakcs here, but particularly the Drive By Truckers in the middle there, Seafood and needless to say Gruff Rhys track (as I am in love with Gruff Rhys, but that's a whole 'nother story). Great stuff.

I wish I couldn't relate to the liner notes as much as I can. As for the mix, not much that I know here, but I'm sure you did a great job.

Not much I know here but I, with almost everyone else it seems, can relate to your notes.

"reminiscent of the Stones in their heyday" Are you suggesting they are no longer in their heyday, ha, ha.

Holy SHIT, Clif. This looks totally, totally amazing and right up my alley, good sir. Clinic->Howlin' Rain, DBT, Sparklehorse, Citay and Oakley Hall all rule mightily. Very nice.

looks well worth the effort to me. 2-4,8-12, and 14,15 are within the bounds of my knowledge and they are all crackers.
