A friend requested a vaguely maudlin mix that was good for drinkin' to, and this is what I came up with. Title from the World/Inferno track.

A little Waits would top this off just right...

Wow, what an excellent mix. DeVotchka has some awesome trax, the Pogues always a fave, the Billy Bragg track I know and like personally. Can't wait for the Nick Cave / JC Mix ;-) -- congrats on such a diversely entertaining playlist. -- TM

Some great looking songs here, especially your Replacements pick. Is the Neil Young from "Dead Man"? I can see myself drinking gin & tonics to this....
