totally off the point, but does anyone else think 'clem snide' sounds like a monty python character?

That name *does* sound like a Python creation. And a fine mix, I've got to say... I'm sure I'd really like this if someone gave it to me, aside from a few cuts (but that's just personal taste--I can't stand the eels, Moldy Peaches or recent Green Day/Cure and I'm at best indifferent to Travis, Beta Band, Death Cab, Reggie, Juliana Theory and Weezer). I've never heard Clem Snide, TSD, or John Mayer, so I can't attest to them. What I *can* say (and praise to the skies) is that I *love* "Diamonds", "Mass Pike", NMH (particularly that song), Nick, Of Montreal (and that song), Sparklehorse, Promise Ring (and that song), the Smiths, Tom Waits... and the White Stripes (GREAT song), who are one of the most significant musical discoveries I've made in the past year and a half. SERIOUS, UNBELIEVABLE kudos to your choice of that Sloan (another one of my favorite bands) song, as it's one of my absolute favorites. So what I'm saying at great length here, is, yeah, I'd love it if a girl made this mix for me. :-) Thanks for all of your positive feedback on my mixes this morning.

that tom waits song is heartbreakingly beautiful. and notice that conroy said nothing about belle and sebastian...for SHAME rob...that song is...well...beautiful...

I like Belle and Sebastian quite a bit, as *you well know*, Mr. Fundak, but not enough to rave about them. :-) I'll be sure to comment on *every* track next time to keep you happy, dear Fundak. ;-)

I'd take this and be very happy.

Aw right! Time Spent Driving! That's a first.

Rob, you deserve any and all praise you receive. As for The Moldy Peaches, this song doesn't really sound like their other stuff. It's slow and sort of melancholy. "Without 40 oz. of social skills, I'm just an ass in the crack of humanity." Yeah, that about sums it up.

i don't know all the artists on this, but i like what i DO know ;) nice going!

clem snide is actually the name of a minor character from a william s. burroughs thing. that's almost python-esque, right? great mix, too.

Very nice. And I think most guys would be happy to get this.

eels, weezer, green day, the beta band, the cure...hell yes. if i got this tape, i'd seriously re-evaluate my opinion about girls & music. (no offense. i'm referring to my school)

super wows. i love love all of this. we should trade sometime. he'll do flips, and cry, and laugh, and um... maybe i'm just telling you what *I* would do if I got this tape.

Clem Snide are AMAZING I recently put Moment in the Sun on my annual mix (I send it to everyone instead of X-mas cards)

I love it when americans like sloan. especially when they like deeper than beauty. There is a version of it on the live double album that is almost completely a fan singalong. It's gorgeous.

this rules! rulesrulesrules!

this looks good. i love sloan, and deeper than beauty is definitely a cute cute crush song. i'd definitely be happy to get this.
