Comment:
We continue our journey through the better-than-they're-given-credit-for days of rock and/or roll and its many offshoots. Looks to be a hell of a year for both the Buzzcocks (including their castoff Howard Devoto's criminally overlooked band Magazine) and Bruce Springsteen (who not only had an amazing album, 'Darkness on the Edge of Town', but got Patti Smith to perform one of his songs). It's also worth noting that either of the first two songs could have made the perfect opener, but c'est la vie or somethin'. Also a good year for weird-assed funk from suspects both usual (Parliament! Shit yes!), unusual (Ian Dury, whose voice seems more suited to conversations with Gromit, but hey, it works) and obscure (who the hell are Foxy, really? I don't care- "Get Off" is big dumb fun, and it's the theme to the Bensonhurst Dating Game!). Finally of note: The Rolling Stones' last truly good song (at least to me). Stay tuned for '79- I hear there's this band Fatback that's got some strange 'rap' thing going on.UPDATE, 12-18-02: Changed the tracklisting (and the title, since I replaced the Buzzcocks song from whence the name arises). Don't worry, the Mekons'll show up in the updated 1989.
Feedback:
I am stoopid. There's one glaring omission on this mix that I forgot to put in, and that's Joy Division's "Warsaw".Stick it betwixt the Buzzcocks and Pere Ubu. Damn I wish I could edit these.
You can. just go to "My Art Of The Mix" and go to "update mix"
that should allow you to do the trick

Kudos for including Radio Birdman,
although I believe the song's called "Aloha Steve & Danno."

Damn, Cobb, you're right. Serious brainfart on my part. Duly noted and (thanks to Shayne) corrected.
More great stuff.
wow. these mixes are amazing...i'm gonna have to do the same after christmas...
I don' know why, but I always feel compelled to comment when I see Springsteen on a mix. I love that guy. And 'Darkness' is almost certainly his best album (it or Nebraska). This is a great series of mixes, you must be getting millions of trade requests.
I just found out that the original Ian Dury track on this comp - "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll"- is actually from 1977. AGH. I hereby dub this the "things are constantly screwed up with this damn CD" mix, but after substituting "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" I think things should be fine. At least with this one.
Man. I wish when I was 7 I didn't just have a few 45s like Kiss: Detroit Rock City/Beth and CCR Bad Moon Rising/Lodi and Marvin doing I Heard it Through the Grapevine... thanks for showing me what I was missing so I can finally get caught up. Great mix.
