Comment:

Looking back on this mix, I've noticed that it is nothing like what I usually make. There's not only one but t w o rap songs, more than one world music song (Japan, India, and, had there been more space on the tape, Scandinavian) and I use an artist more than once. (Although, if you're going to do that for an artists, you can do much worse than the 'Mats.)

Still, for a debut post...

Email me if you'd like to trade, especially since some of the songs on this tape are hard-to-find.

Goodness! I seem to have omitted a song. "Express Train" by Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band between the Byrds and the Replacements on side one. Adds a much-needed boost of bluesy energy to a sedate patch. Am ashamed to have forgotten it.

This is great; in particular I love those Robyn Hitchcock, Joy Division, Replacements, X and Elvis Costello songs.

Lots of great picks here, and a double dose of 'Mats always is good for bonus points.
