Comment:
A collection of Happy Songs with a Hook..Thanks to the ever reliable Barry for 6 & 12..
Tracks 16 & 23 aren't cover versions. 28 is, and while it's nice enough, the reason it's included here is because I like the way she says 'Donald Duck'!
Download and
Enjoy
Feedback:
Donald duck you say? I gotta hear that. This is scorching mate. I know a lot of it, but I need to bask in the whole thing to get the full benefit. Anytime by the way.
The half I don't know is in good company with the half I do know. I'll bet this is fantastic...
does anyone make pop mixes as well or as reliably as you? i think not. lovin' the new vampire weekend, & of course the orange juice track is a favorite. looks wonderful in full though, as always....
I am enraptured by that picture and sure to be by the mix as well. Beach Boys into Nesmith sounds perfect.
Happy indeed. Lots to like here. I'm also lovin' that vampire weekend.
Looks outstanding, I'm looking forward to listening to the stuff I don't know in about 6 minutes!!
Happy talk, keep talkin' happy talk,
Talk about things you'd like to do.
You got to have a dream,
If you don't have a dream,
How you gonna have a dream come true?
...& I'm happy the cable connection is working..!

Fantastic Papa Nes, Billy Nicholls (!), Jonathan Richman, Hollies, Fiery Furnaces, Sparks, Orange Juice, Monkees... hell, the whole thing looks great!
I'm hooked! a great listen, Sam: Baron De Tagomago, Orwell, The Tikis, Moto Boy, Alphabeat, Sparks, Aphrodite's Child... wonderful. I'm hooked! Especially liked the Jonathan Richman song, since I once lived in Salt Lake City, and I've also had to defend my preference for taking the bus on long trips. It's fun! wonderful mix, and that's a lovely picture too.
I'm hooked! or did I already say that.
Can't beat happy and hooky. And sun by the Seine.
Is there by any chance a greater than usual number of food references, in both the artist and song columns?

Can I give a "Hell Yeah!"? I think I can. Downloading this baby right now, by gosh!
Sammy Sunshine comes through once again. Thank You!
800 Cherries!!!! Awesome.
This was a fun listen, Sammy. Especially dug 7, 10-12, 15, 20 and 26.
Late to the party as ever. Is that Manchester in autumn? Familiar with most of the artists, not so all the songs, though well acquainted with Wan Light and wonderful it is. Should that be Wimple Winch? Or is there a band called Wimple Witch? Or am I muddled?
The whole thing looks great but I especially like the 9-14 stretch, that said Billy Nicholls merits best tune fer moi.
K&R - no that's my mistake, corrected - it is Wimple Winch..
This looks super!
lovely stuff
I agree with Mr. Anthony. Sammy's got it...hands down!
The Fiery Furnaces were in town a little more than a week ago but I missed them due to a high fever and bad cough. This mix is just what I need!

Vampire Weekend sound is summer in my opinion! So much to like here. Another amazing mix, Sam. Really dig that Fiery Furnaces track. I also really liked the opener.
Well we both know how much I hate "happy songs with a hook" -- but I guess I'd listen to this mix if you put a loaded gun to my head. I'd cringe as the upbeat sounds of the Beach Boys, Archies and Billy Nicholls pass through my eardrums. Just shoot me already! Okay, you know I'm just messin' with ya, as this looks brilliant. Might even be worth the 7 hour download. BTW, I've really been enjoying what I've heard from Vampire Weekend, who I first heard on our alt dj mix last year. Their album has been out for two days, and the backlash has already begun!
Geez. This is much needed in my frozen northern pad. Thanks Sammy.
Thanks for the download. You can tell this is a good mix from the start. Some nice introudctions here...opens up a few new doors!
Dang. This hits keep on comin! I bask in the glow.
Gee, Ion, there are some classics on "The Sun is an Old Friend." Such as:
Hey Sammy! Thought I'd share the e-mail my mom sent me after I sent her the link to DL the mix: "The Man with the Black Mustache,
You're Crazy for Taking the Bus,
Vegetables,
Captain Sandwich,
Painty Paint Box
How on earth did you find such goodies!??!"
Sounds like you have another fan! Will check this out this weekend.

Okay. I screwed up that last comment a bit. It should have gone like this: Hey Sammy!

That *could* be Manchester no? Vampire Weekend into Archies does it for me. So much great stuff too.
Very big fun! Thanks.
I see a few old friends here - Richman, Beach Boys, Sparks, Rusby. Hope to find some new ones as well.
Really great stuff...I so much enjoy happy music and this is a home run! Been enjoying this for days. Thanks for noticing Carol Kaye!
Happy songs with hooks, eh? Is there any better mix theme out there? Must... download...
