Comment:

Made for Sarah, Down Under, who wanted something "simple, striking, strange and sad." Generally sad, though simple and strange to varying degrees, and with a decidedly indie slant. Title from the Femmes track. If you choose to follow the link, there's a space to be removed...

Besides the Roky, Syd, Gavin & Nick, I do like the eels here and especially R.E.M. Looks great, Brother Funky...

The girl must be alliterative. Does her last name start with the letter "S?" Lots to like on here.

Cool on track 21 - this site is like a Gavin Bryars festival lately.

Amazing, moving, and somehow still funky. Sarah will definitely enjoy this. Thanks for the dl.

Nice. I used that Femmes line as a title once, as well (I think I called the mix "Laughing at the sunrise like he's been up all night.")

This is terrific. I especially like the Oldham, Microphones, Daniel J, Horse Feathers, Vic, Spokane and the last track is an all time fave.

This is really beautiful and a real change of pace from everything you (and the GB brothers) have been doing lately. I think you saved the best for last, the final three are pristine. And I actually liked a Daniel Johnston tune!

This Sarah is a lucky lady. This is perfect mix.
