Comment:

This is the September mix, so I'm finally caught up :) This collection of odds and ends that wanted to be on previous mixes, but didn't make the cut, turns out to work better as a whole than I'd have thought, although getting some of these to segue well was a lost cause. The Tom Waits track includes its spoken intro; all the uncredited tracks are Combustible Edison bridge instrumentals from the Four Rooms soundtrack (and are each :30 long or less).

Brilliant props for the Ashley MacIsaac tracks- I haven't heard 'Sleepy Maggie' in ages, + it was neat just to think about it. This seems really excellent. At a party, this would stop people in mid-conversation... in the good way. Out.

Ditto on the Ashley McIsaac song - that's a CD that has been neglected on my shelf for too long. And I love that Phil Oches song. Lots of great stuff here.

That Ashley MacIsaac CD is one of the ones which, when I remember it, I always think "Why don't I listen to it more often?"

Soundtrack. Frankly, I think the soundtrack is the best thing about the film :)

Two of the Combustible Edison songs, Solid State and Cadillac, are from other albums. Vertigogo and all the incidentals are from Four Rooms.

I'd never even heard of Ashley MacIsaac, actually. But those two songs are terrific.
