Comment:

This is for my mother. Each song is dedicated to a certain aspect of my mother, either in her relation to me, in relation to her personality, or in relation to events in her life.

This won't make up for years of being a pain-in-the-ass, ungrateful, undeserving, short-tempered, ne'er-do-well son, but it's what I have right now.

I love you, mom.

Your mom is lucky.... Trying to incorporate that Mogwai song into a mix I've got in the works right now. Really like 2,4,11,12,15,&17 as well. Welcome to AOTM!

#9 for your mom... Now that's just the best. Lots of great tracks here and the fact that they will mean something special to the recipient is just icing. Well done.

Nice to see. A mix for my own mother wouldn't be quite so positive. I shall survive, as Gloria Gaynor once sang.
