Comment:

this is...i would say the mix tape i'm most proud of that i've ever done...in between of almost every song there are snippets of zappa from "lumpy gravy" or even by good ol' don van vliet from "trout mask replica". side 2 intentionally started out kind of slow and soft then commences with the barrage on "tourette's" and slows back down on "sleeping the terror code". ive only got one copy, but heck if someone wants it, they can have it, i don't need it. "success comes not through schooling, but through extortion" --famous last words of a blind man--.

Very nice. This looks really solid, but I especially like the Beefheart, Fugazi, Slint, and Husker Du picks.

love that beefheart song, good choice. The Eno/Byrne combo as well as the heads' song . Great Shadow song, great Sigur Ros as well, but you know what, that is definitely not one of the greater pixies songs. maybe it goes well with the mix?
nice mix overrall

I have to say, this is the only time I've been moved comment, this is damn fucking good. Could I possibly get a copy. I'd pay for all postage and handling.

Looks quite good! Congrats to you. I like seeing some bands I've never heard of - that's why I'm here. Makes we wanna find a good Zappa mix now.

good mix! (but I must admit that, upon reading the title, the first thing that popped in my head was "Maxwell's silver hammer came down upon her head...") I love mixes with random bits of other stuff mixed in.
