Excellent mix. Personal faves are 7-11, 13 and the 19-22 stretch. Not heard that Lambchop track for years...

I've always loved that Billie Holiday pick . . . nice mix for a perenial theme . . . weather here in Dubai is just getting shitty for the summer . . . it just topped 50 degrees C today (around 120 Fahrenheit) so I guess we'll be hiding indoors in the airconditioning until September when it gets more human again . . . still, maybe that means I'll start mixing again (every cloud, and all that . . . )

great them, wonderfully executed -- the tom waits, dylan, & prince picks are personal favorites, though most of this looks fantastic...

Love Prince's Under the Cherry Moon. That's the soundtrack not the movie.

The Waits, Temps, Dylan and Billie Holliday tracks all do it for me.

Really nice. I just caught the 'water' episode by accident (my flatmate was listening to it) - nice

Stormy Weather! Someday I will have to arrange a paired listening of Bob's theme sets & yours, but I'm already convinced yours are better.
