Comment:

Alright kiddies, here's the fifth installment of the AOTM best-of mix (favourite tracks selected by AOTM mixers). This would have come a little sooner but I was holding out and hoping for three mixers to contribute, but unfortunately they didn't come through for various reasons. Anyway, the sequencing for this was actually a lot easier than I thought, other than one or two rough patches. Thanks to all the folks who participated in this one. I had a lot of fun compiling this and discovering some new artists while wasting away at work this past week! I hope I presented this in a compelling way for you.

Enjoy

Oh, and, here's the other volumes if you missed them: I, II, III, and IV

I never got it, unfortunately, and I sent you an e-mail yesterday for a track. You were one of the three I was holding out for! Sorry Cliff. :(

Another fine installment! Looks to have less obscurities than the previous AOTM best-ofs. I'm actually familiar with about a half dozen of these songs. And what are all those people on the cover looking at? Go home! There's nothing more to see here! And one moe thing -- I came this close to sending you a track by the Bongos.

Maybe it's lazy listening, but you have been hard at work. Thanks for the excellent ringleading here.

That is quite a motley band of ragamuffins. I mean the people in the picture, not the mixers who contributed. Umm, maybe them too.

a terrific variety here, and I think their placement is nearly perfect. I mean the people in the picture, of course. but this mix isn't half bad either, with my personal faves at nos. 5 & 17. but that 14/15 pairing is pretty damn hot too.

This looks great, Salman. Really great. And I, for one, had fun contributing the least obscure and most mindlessly rawk track. ;-)

Thanks for putting this together, Salman, the result looks great! The idea of a lazy summer listening session sounds appealing, but not all that realistic for the next couple of weeks. Still, I look forward to giving this an un-lazy listen.

Totally cool Salman! Thanks for adding my Bros pick. And that picture- why, it's the Splitters! That's clearly Rob Conroy in the deerstalker.

I promise not to miss the next installment (if invited to participate that is. I've had a few time consuming and unpleasant situations I've been dealing with (of late)...and anytime I've attempted to upload a tune, I would get distracted with yet another fire drill.Regardless, the mix and contributions doesn't seem to suffer in the slightest. Particular tracks of interest rank 1 thru 20.

Excellent job, all. Glad I was able to participate. That 12-13-14 run looks particularly intriguing.
