Comment:
You know, I know every fault and flaw inherent to cassettes, believe me, I do. Still, I goota say, it is indicative of our age that people think they've got it good that they get better sound and less recording time for their mixes. I used a 100 minute tape here ad put 15 songs on the first side. Only 10 on the second side, I admit, but hey, the Butterfield and the endrix were both stretched out jams.Of course, this *is* a blues tape, just not in ay purist sense of the term. I'm not a purist in any genre. Purist thinking bores me; puts me right to sleep. Much more fun to blur the lines and stretch definitions and use forms of things but not the things themselves.
You got most of my usual suspects here, because there's just no way for me to get through a mix these days w/out throwing some countrified sounds at people. I get pretty obsessive about the flow of mixes and whether it all coheres. Upon playback I was well pleased but didn't get to the point where I ran Hendrix into Elvis Costello and I don't really know if you can consider The Costello any kind of a blues. What can I say-- I was buzzed; it was a gut decision; it felt right; I'm not ashamed enough not to post this morning.
I'm getting longer with my comments. I've begun to write out specific comments for each track at home and if anyone wants those, email me at nylad66@hotmail.com and I'll send em along...
