Comment:

volume 21. like the elton john to claudine longet mix, this one is a pixies single artist mix sandwiched in between a pink floyd record i loathe (but i am unwilling to break up the box set which has records i like) and radiohead, a band i have always found massively overrated. i'm sure this mix will attract people on the title alone and then they'll say "what the fuck is this shit?"

Yes, this mix is coated in Pixie dust. Never heard of Wally Peasant. What am I missing?

wow, a rap album. p.s. radiohead is simultaneously over and under rated for all the wrong reasons on both sides. they make some damn fine music if you give them half a chance.

and as long as we are on the subject of over-rated bands i'm going to give the nod to those lovable pixies. i enjoy them quite a lot, don't get me wrong, but they seem to carry more weight than they deserve. once again, this is only one reporters opinion. and if you are looking for suggestions, i advise the first three pogues albums to include in future audits. i assure you sir, they are quite bomb-ass

Lose that Pink Floyd record - immediately. Actually, you could probably lose all the Pink Floyd records post-Syd. Well, maybe that's a bit extreme. Still, your collection would be a damn sight better if you traded them for Pogues records.

maybe so Sean, but i'm thinking of using the shitty floyd records for skeet shooting...

FYI...it's Lou Gehrig.
Quite possibly the strangest idea for compilations I've ever seen....when you reach the end do you plan a compilation best of the compilations? ;o)
