Comment:

My first (albeit extremely naive) foray into the "indie" cannon...compiled more than a year ago. My, how things have changed. Putting anything this obvious onto a tape designed for an audience would get me lynched now surely (save the Moxy Fruvous and Sea and Cake picks). In my own defense, this is long before I discovered AoTM or any other impetus for rooting out anything cool, so I relied primarily upon Amazon. Still, it seemed to flow well, and that's the actual "art," right (of the mix, heh)? Anyhow, comments welcome/appreciated.

Nothing necessarily wrong with obviousness. Don't know all the selections here, but I like most of the ones I do know (particularly "Opus 40").

Absolutely amateurish! Just joshin'. Is it just me or did you restructure this? It would probably save time if I just talk about the songs I don't like. 5, 6, 9, 18,19. Wouldn't this be a prime candidate for "back-engineering"?
