Comment:

So, I was sifting through my CDs, preparing to make a mix similar to Emily Stein's "A is for Anna" mix only with guys' names instead of girls. While I was looking I noticed a pretty high occurence of songs mentioning John, Jack or Joe. Therefore, I deemed these three men worthy of their own mix. Here you have it.

Good ol' President Joe. How I miss him. p.s. you forgot the song, "Joe, Jack and John do the Stab Dance" by the Joe Jack and John Gang.

We should not now, nor ever, forget "My friend Jack" by the Smoke. I'll put it on my version of this mix, dedicated to our current "president", Jack Ass. (Heh, I kill me.)

A rare mix where a truly absurd theme actually results in the inclusion of a fair number of great songs. Kudos on Soap Star Joe and Joe Rey. A few thoughts for Version 2.0: The Turtles' "Surfer Joe"; King Crimson's "Neal & Jack & Me"; Pink Floyd's "Not Now John"; Pavement's "Sue Me Jack"; etc.

Ahh "Joey" is one of my favorite songs in the cosmos. This looks very nice. Can I trade for a copy? ;)

came in the mail yesterday. i gotta say i had heard barely any of these songs, and i guess that's the beauty of mix trading. although i adore the whole mix, the stretch from the dead to verbena just killed me. SO good. and i had never heard any of those songs (the tahiti 80 hey joe is hands down my fav track on the cd. kick ass.) nina simone mellowed me right out. this cd gave me my first experience with listening to the dead, something i've been trying to get around to for a long time now. thanks a ton. oh and the poe song, it's been YEARS since i heard that! i just heard that spoon track for the time a couple weeks back. beastie boys, stones, beach boys, bowie are all classics. this mix.... so good. thank you.
