Comment:

Yes, every track here fits the theme but some of them fit it in very obscure ways. You figure it out. There's enough weirdness here that I'm not going to give detailed notes; if you're curious, write me. Thank-yous to Otis Fodder and Simon Mason, without whom.

This mix is for the birds! Seriously, this looks like a fine mix. I'm trying to remember the words to Earn Enough For Us to find the bird reference, assuming there is one.

I think the bird on the cover of Skylarking is the bird reference. A really good mix, even if it goes against my "avoid having the same artist twice on the same mix" rule in a big way.

"Skylarking" itself is the bird reference. It was an excuse to get some gentler tracks into this mix. I don't mind the same artist more than once in a mix, but I am trying not to repeat myself, which is why "The Penguin" (Raymond Scott) isn't here - already used it. But it is sampled in the Soul Coughing track - probably the most obscure bird ref. in the lot.
