Comment:

late sept. 03. After a hiatus from the site (not mixing, though), I am indeed back in black! This was made for a new friend, part of an exchange. It caused me a great deal of trouble as she is all indie rock, thus cool, while I am like the opposite of indie rock...losing my cool, if you will. I am actually quite pleased with it, from the opening shock of one of the most baddass thugged-out hip-hop songs I know, all through the inclusion of two orgasmic Zeppelin songs. (Indie rock and dork can at least agree on one thing...)

Thanks -- maybe it just doesn't look cool to me because I've known these songs for so long. I always have the impression that everyone's going to know I've put song a on ten tapes already, or have already used part of that flow...but the inclusion of Glenn Gould, my dead Canadian crazy pianist studio boy iconoclast boyfriend gives me at least a little street cred, right?

" maybe it just doesn't look cool to me because I've known these songs for so long." That's when the zen of mixing is in your blood. You know when songs so different will work on a mix tape. And with the right kind of ears, someone will recognize that they are not just hashed together. Another kickass mix- great deep tracks. "The Card Cheat," the Pogues, Ramones, Ronettes, Bjork, and the excellent Richard & Linda Thompson. bravo!
