Comment:

Just a mix for an old roommate, containing some "cult-classic" (pre-indie?) rock and roll. I didn't stick to any specific genre or movement (though there's a fair share of post-punk present), preferring just to pick songs released in the 70s proper. The cover image is a reference to the lyric, "Fish fingers all in a line," from Wire's "Ex-Lion Tamer." Thanks, Google.

Wow. This is a great mix! One of my favorite Costello tunes and that Genesis song is great! "It is here, it is now.."

i wouldn't exactly call "pink moon" a rock song, but a good mix nonetheless

Ooooooooh. Richard Hell, Elvis, Wire, one of my fave Big Star tunes, TWO Modern Lovers tracks, and the NY Dolls, one of my all-time favorites. This is absolutely wonderful.

A great mix, but common, Needle in the Camel's Eye and Pink Moon can't go together. That's a sin man, a sin :-D

I'm not familiar with that Genesis track by otherwise, not a bad song in sight
