Artist Song
bob dylan  hey, mr. tambourine man 
the creation  makin' time 
pink floyd  fearless 
johnny cash  ring of fire 
creedence clearwater revival  lodi 
george harrison  what is life? 
lovin' spoonful  you didn't have to be so nice 
the beatles  don't let me down 
them  here comes the night 
the beau brummels  laugh, laugh 
the WHO  my generation 
the cyrkle  red rubber ball 
the velvet underground  sweet jane

the zombies  care of cell 44 
nick drake  pink moon 
buddy holly  words of love 
the barbarians  are you a boy or are you a girl? 
the byrds  i'll feel a whole lot better 
the beatles  i've got a feeling 
the easybeats  friday on my mind 
sly and the family stone  everyday people 
bob dylan  4th time around 
patsy cline  crazy 
the left banke  i've got something on my mind 
faces  ooh la la 
the gants  i wonder 
big star  watch the sunrise 
the beatles  a day in the life 

Comment:

this is digital (101011). an xmas gift from my brother, who usually hates my mixes and all of the music i listen to. too damn bad--he's getting it anyway, hence the title, since this mix shares a quality with another gift no one ever wants...

Great mix, Brandt. I do, however, have to be an ass and say (since you've called it this on a couple of mixes now and it's driving me nuts) that the title of your opening song is "Mr. Tambourine Man". There's no "Hey" involved... Anyway, have a fine holiday.

Lovely mix, Brandt. Although, here in Aus. - people love fruit cake! or christmas cake, which is very similar. Personally, I'm like you, no thank you.

If he doesn't like it, perhaps you could send it to your other "brother" *wink wink*

I like this a lot. "Watch the Sunrise" is one of my favorite Big Star songs--a song that's frequently overlooked.

i know what it's like to make mixes for people who won't appreciate them (sigh)... such is the fate of the tireless champion of indie bands and otherwise quality music, i guess. but how could he not like this? lots of great stuff on here. nice job (as usual).
