Comment:
For the hell of it. Title by Buck 65.Feedback:
This blows me away!
Very cool, love the Buck 65, Can, Magic Sam, SFA, Mag Fields and Radiohead tracks.
Suzi, Westerberg, Cash, Radiohead....love it!
Love the early Bunnymen and the JD > Radiohead transition looks solid.
Oooohhh, lots of great stuff here, Rob. I love Buck 65. This has such a good range of styles, yet I can see some definite cohesion there. The 9-15 stretch looks excellent.
I was hoping to see Living Colour on here, just based on your title, but Terry Reid and Ralfi Pagan will do just fine.
Damn, this looks great - I truly hope there's a link SOON!
Looks terrific, and you KNOW I especially love that Monkees track!
Yeah, lookin' good... 3-20 well maybe not 7.
The only three tracks here I really know are the ones by the Mamas & Papas, Monkees and Joy Division, so I may not be fully qualified to comment, but this sort of eclecticism is something that I always appreciate and respect!
Always nice to see what's going through your ears. I keep wondering about Kaki King ... haven't been so impressed but she gets such good press. At any rate, I noticed I hadn't seen much of you.
Great. Leaps from one style to another effortlessly. Never enough Bunnymen around these parts and that's an excellent track.
I'm with Kate and Rupe on that particular Echo & the Bunnymen song. also good to see more Bee Gees, Can and Joe Dassin here. quite a few I don't know also, looks intriguing.
Suzi Quatro, The Mamas & the Papas, Magic Sam, Paul Westerberg, The Monkees, oh what the hell-it's all good.
welcome back
I picked up all the Bunnymen reissues on CD a couple of years ago in a 2forú10 sale, I must listen to them one day, don't know that particular song as yet.. It's been brought to my attention that I use the Mamas & the Papas more than any other act on my mixes - I love them! Have you ever done a Single Artist Mix on them?
Echoing the others here, this mix is great from tip to toe..

that new merritt track is an absolute INSTANT classic - love the whole 13-17 run alot, looks like another cool one rob
Interesting. Dig that Suzi Q.
Pretty bitchin' mix, Rob. Love tha Black Mountain track (it'll probably show up on one of mixes sooner or later).
Crikey ! My favourite Suzi Quatro song !lots to love here . . . especially Black Mountain and Can for me . . .
Looking good! -- as Freddie Prinze would say. Love that Quatro track too, as well as the SFA, Echo, Monkees and the Bee Gees. I knew that Sammy was going to mention the Mamas & the Papas!
4-6 & 12-17 look the biz Mr C.
As I find to be the case with most RC FTHOI mixes, a personal fave ("24 Hours"), a few less-played tunes by artists I like (Mag Fields, Westerberg, Monkees, Echo), and a whole buncha stuff that I should probably go and check out.
I'm trying to image the Mamas & the Papas sandwiched between Can and The Godz . Looks mighty intrigueing.
Love that Black Mountain song, and always nice to see Echo & the Bunnymen, Radiohead, Joy Division, and The Magnetic Fields. Love it! as always.
Hells yeah, man! Suzie Quatro->Black Mountain...in fact, the opening 7 songs look untouchable. I need to listen to that Stephen Merrit (haven't really delved too deeply into much of anything he's put out, really). Oh yeah, that Radiohead may be my favorite track I've heard from them in a loooong time. Surprised I hadn't commented on this already, but these things do slip past me occasionally, y'know? ;-) Will be checking it all out shortly.
...and now I can say I also like the James "Son" Thomas/Terry Reid combo, the Magnetic Fields/Paul Westerberg duo and the wonderful Joe Dassin there at the end. nice work, Rob. and thanks for the listen!
nice one, Rob. I love that Johnny Cash tune.
A mix that includes Magic Sam, Suzi Q and Joy Division is a must listen even if it is for the hell of it.
Rob, these look like so much fun, I'm going to have to start putting up some FTHOIs myself, after I vomit out the mixes that have been simmering lately. It is nice to only be limited by your imagination, no theme or deep thoughts.
