Comment:

The title comes from a Left For Dead show. They yelled that, then lobbed a firecracker at the crowd. This mix tape sort of covers a broad spectrum of stuff, from powerviolence to kooky Stephen Merritt side projects all in one trip.

Wow. I love this. That Gossip song is on a mix I made for my wife's car, and the Ex Model's LP has occupied an unprecedented number of days on the #2 table.

i dig the gossip. they've got that bluesy thing. i think they'd feel pretty good snuggled up next to the detroit cobras on a mix tape.

There's no powerviolence to be seen on this. Too bad.

little bit of a shuffle in the 'production' version. due to poor quality of the original, i dumped the mushuggah and part of helicopters tracks, and added black cat 13 (push the panik button), sick lipstick (teenage robots) and intl noise conspiracy (enslavement blues).

and fine, so left for dead isn't really powerviolence. but still, they're all full of that youthful vigour. they bombasticate in the rock and roll fashion.
