Comment:

Okay, "17" for seventeen years of near-total bliss with my partner-in-crime....,about as easy a source of inspiration for anything I do. If, at times, this mix seemes exceedingly "indulgent" I'll not apologize......she's worthy of the indulgence. It is my wont to indulge friends, and she's the "best and brightest" among a veritable night sky full of 'em! (#8 says it all about her.) (Thanks to Jeb for #s 11 & 18...peace friend.)

I really like the "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" (love that tune) into "Dead Bodies" segue. And "Cronulla Breakdown" is practically aural Spanish Fly. Great mix. (That's you on the cover, right, Valis? ;> )

So here's Lasse Lindh turning up again. Looks good, my friend (though I'd probably have done without the Queen track this time). And it LOOKS good, too. P.S.: I'll keep the Kong-sized rats in their well-secured cages for the actual date . . .

Thanks all! Joel: You're right, that transition is priceless (I worried about the title-"Dead Bodies" on a "LOVE" mix, but I needed a driving instrumental to sustain the energy AND hint at what follows; Ion, I so hope you do too! (Can't imagine a more solid relationship.., you did go to a "Barbie Convention" after all.. ah, the Wondermints....a new obsession that will run unabated 'til further notice!Thx again Jeb! Curtis an' Mo (!) thank you sirs/friends....Thomas, heh....Queen fit because the Supernaturals are so danged lo-fi with their interpretation I felt she'd be *screamin'* for the real stuff...! Gerard, Scotland the Brave (and melodically musical) FOREVER! ....Stacie hasn't heard this mix......the anniversary is the 23rd......so I thought I'd get it done and take some pressure off....I'll give it to her next weekend when we celebrate. (I'll let ya' know if it worked...)

Congrats. Very cool. Only wish I'd seen the cover before you removed it ;-( Our 6th anniv. is on the 16th. Why so many people choose to get married in the August heat is beyond me ;-)

Weird. I hit 'Submit' and the cover is displayed. Are you psychic?

Another one I missed - love the Cotton Mather pick, esp. And, as today (the 23rd) is your anniversary, have a happy one! It's good to see that some marriages/relationships do work!
