Comment:

this mix is dedicated to a fantastic guy who i had the pleasure of spending the past week with, before he went away for a month for work. said he doesn't usually listen to music while he's home (except for triple j!) but he said he give this one a shot, as i made it with him in mind (plus it's got his favourite Benedict Moleta song on it!) as well as lots of bands we talked about/listened to, like the panics, verve, spiritualized, clientele, etc. still can't believe he'd never heard big star before. must educate this boy. title courtesy of shannon/spinster, who, apparently, hates mobile phones!

There's a lot of people out there who never heard of Big star, so fullfill your duty and educate him in the great big world of pop, this is a great start. have a nice winter ;), now the summer really starts here and I'm gonna spend a couple of weeks in my country house doing as little as possibly

Very cool mix. Love the TFC, Byrds, etc. etc. And people should be legally obligated to know Big Star. When they put me in charge, let me tell you...

Lovely mix Sue, looks all west coast and sunny to me. As for Big Star- 'Thirteen' is a lush song but I don't know the albums. They've been sitting on my 'must-get' list for years, tho.
