Comment:

Unfortunately, this mix isn't very balanced with most of it coming from "Illinoise." That's for several reasons: 1) Some of his songs are just too long and monopolize too much mix space. 2) Some of the best songs on "Illinoise" end awkwardly and the only way I could pad the transition was by including the preceding snippets. 3) "Enjoy Your Rabbit" material just didn't fit anywhere.
There are some notable exclusions here, but I ran out of room. Again, his songs tend to be long.
But I think this flows well and has the "must-haves."
