Comment:

i actually made this on a cd but they wouldn't let me use side two slots if i said it was on a cd. making this mix tape was actually a lot of fun and if i had taken just one different path (i.e. sonic youth instead of husker du) it would have turned out completely different. most of the songs i picked didn't really have to do with the connection (for example, if i really wanted to be true to the brian eno/david bowie connection, i would have picked something from the berlin trilogy) but i didn't really feel like it. this tape makes me really happy. who knew the happy mondays and sean na na could be connected so easily?

Excellent idea! And some really great choices (i.e. t-rex, husker du, roxy, joy division, etc)

I don't know all these tunes, but this appears to be a very cohesive sounding mix. I also applaud the concept. Possible Mix of the Week candidate?

This was a cool idea, and you made it run through the Minneapolis bands, so I have to like it.

good stuff. for the longest time, i actually thought har mar superstar and sean na na were brothers too. but they're the same person afterall. oh well. i guess it still counts.

Would you be terribly offended if any of us borrowed this concept?

Excellent! Nice execution. I'm sure you could have carried it on longer if you didn't run out of space on the CD
