Comment:

Following in the footsteps of Mssrs. Hertel & Smith, I offer up a bit for the bandwagon...sewn together from my aging memory...and, I must admit, an exercise in f-u-n.


1. A song from the last record you bought
2. A blues: not necessarily a blues record but a song that
is labeled (something) blues
3. A song that gets you going in the morning
4. A song that you think is romantic
5. One of the earliest records that you can remember listening to.
6. A song that you discovered from a film [Trollsyn]
7. A song from your favorite band / artist
8. A song from an artist band that you otherwise don't like,
but like this one
9. A Lullaby.
10. A song that makes you laugh / you find funny
11. A really good cover version
12. A song that reminds you of school days
13. A song from an artist that you are embarrassed to admit
you like
14. Whatever it is, it's got to be funky
15. A song for those quiet rainy days
16. A song that no matter when you hear it makes you `Feel-good'
17. A song with the word `Look' in the title
18. From a member of the `Dead rockers society'
19. Your favorite Elvis song.
20. Wildcard - Hey, just put any song you like on!

Excellent selections...Particularly like the Cure selection (especially from the All Mixed Up collection) and the Oasis track...Well done!

Good one g.a.b..! Hail reanimation! I suppose some of this may come as a surprise to some, but the early mixes, (especially the alt. dj stuff with your brother), shows a pop side that makes Yaz, Sade, Haircut 100 (!), a fait accompli. The Bowie's a slam dunk! Nice choice for track 18..., and another friend of mine has just gone on an obsessive reviewing of the Cure catalog-that IS a great rainy day pick. Hope it was fun! What did Lou Christie sing..?

another goody from the Frankenstein vaults. Particularly like the Fab Four and Frankie pix. This Frankenstein thing has certainly thrown up a lot of interesting discussions. Great therapy, and an excuse to air some stuff which might otherwise have remained in the closet! (I am merely trying to justify my inclusion of the Byan Adams track on my Frankie mix, for which I have taken unbelievable, and probably deserved flak) :-)

Excellent!
And the Voice of the Beehive track finishes it off quite nicely...
