Comment:

For the spifforiffic Rosie. Believe it or not, I'd planned on using that AC/DC song on a mix for months now and hadn't gotten around to it... and I just couldn't resist this time. ;-) Thanks to lo-fi for the extra poppin' Sex Clark Five track. And yes, spoon, I've reversed myself on that ABBA track (and on "S.O.S.", but I'll go no futher :-P ). Title from the Specials tune.

Great mix, Rob. I love the inclusion of "too much, too young" - I think it fits! (although let's wait to hear Rosie's comments first!)

too much too young!! blargh, i thing there is a lot of rumour mungering going on around this AOTM place (whatta dive!...well, actually it's kinda more grease esque and you feel like walking in and saying "hey viola i'll have a dogsled delight with two spoons and an eskimo pie with a knife) too much too young...blargh. i'm just a little innocent living in a little country town. i mean i'm considered pretty straight by a lot of people who don't know me...surely that counts for something! i loooooooove that AC/DC song, for "me" related mixes it's either that or "days of wine and roses" which i tend to go for. oooh, rob made me a mix and it's very very very nice. "clean living" that's me...being officially on holidays now i celebrated by vacuuming my bedroom...oh dear, i think she's gone mad!!!

Props for including the Sex Clark Five, Desmond Dekker and my favorite Dinosaur Jr. song. Maybe next time you can include "Rosie" by Jackson Browne, which is about masturbation. Then again, maybe not.

lol If I owned that Jackson Browne song (one of the only tunes of his that I actually *like*), I'm sure I'd have thought about it for three seconds before going, "Nah, overkill." ;-) But I appreciate the comments ("Freak Scene" is not just my fave Dino tune, but one of my favorite singles of all-time) and I'm glad you like the mix, Rosie.

Very cool Rob. I was going to direct your attention to the SCF single. Some Beatles-esque pop heaven that I know you like. Looks like you found it for yourself just fine.

Hmm, Mr. Woods. I see no Brian Adams here? I see Ryan Adams, and he would never be confused with the pok faced Canadian (who I am sure most would agree is lame)Overall, a cool mix.
