Comment:
In (roughly) chronological order of release date. (Why isn't it standard practice to include the MONTH as well as the year of release in amateur discographies? Aaaargh.)Feedback:
Not that I'm nitpicking, since I love the songs, but nearly half of these artists are not from New York. Maybe I'm missing the point of the mix.
Lots of classics!Really good, but NY Underground?
Stooges=Ann Arbor/Detroit, MI
David Bowie=Brixton, UK
Modern Lovers= Boston, Ma
Pere Ubu & Dead Boys=Cleveland, OH
Devo= Akron, OH
Stooges=Ann Arbor/Detroit, MI
David Bowie=Brixton, UK

I'm more stuck on the underground part...Bowie, Blondie, etc...none the less, quite a worthy mix. Great Modern Lovers pick.
Well The Stooges and Bowie are out, but the Dead Boys, Pere Ubu, and the Modern Lovers all played CBGBs or Max's or one of the haunts in NYC.
don't care what they say, it's great mix
I love all this stuff , looks great
knew i was asking for an arse-kicking when i made the mix... but let me justify:
reading gary valentine (ex-blondie)'s bio, "new york rocker". it's a bit biased, but it captures the era fairly well. also reading "please kill me", legs mcneil. the point of the mix was not necessarily bands originating FROM new york during this period, but those that found much of their early fame in the CBGBs/Max's Kansas City circuit between '73-'80. one interesting thing i discovered is that a lot of bands from the ohio scene who were already well established just kicked their careers up a notch once they hit new york. so that's pretty much the story.

Great music.
this looks really great. and i kinda figured out that you didn't mean band necessarily from ny, but the "scene".
