Comment:

Just under 80 minutes by one of my favorite female rockers of all-time, who happens to finally be getting some notoriety thanks to her White Stripes affiliation. I still don't own Up the Empire (her "official" live record) or Laugh It All Up (her long out-of-print covers album), nor do I own her collaborative albums with Dan Melchior or Billy Childish, so there's nothing from those here. Even without those albums, however, a wealth of tracks had to be cut, including "Anyotherway", "Expert", "Til I Get", "Box Elder", "Lonesome Town", "Now", "Tell Me Now So I Know", "Grandstand", and "Waiting Room."

Don't know of her at all. My curiosity is piqued

I like what I've heard, which has, admittedly, not been enough. I think I'll be needing this next time.

I only know her most recent album...some of which I love and some I think mediocre..but I do know I want to explore her earlier stuff!

This is nice. I've been menaing to make a 'best of Holly Golightly' for a while now. Thanks for the reminder and for listing songs I might have otherwise forgotten.

thanks for making a mix that will make me seek out an artist I don't know. That's what it's all about. :)

Really nice. Yet another mix you'll have to include when we trade mixes again in 2006. Has anyone here ever done a single artist mix by Thee Heatcoatees?

No Headcoatees? I'm just now discovering her solo stuff - for years she's just been a Billy Childish puppet to me. Which I will now admit was totally wrong. Great mix.

Great comp, though some Headcoatees would be a nice addition as well, too, also....

There was so much great solo material that Headcoatees stuff was completely unnecessary, although if someone (*clears throat while looking pointedly at Lally*) would like to begin my Headcoatees collection, I'd be more than happy to assemble a comp for them, as well. ;-)

Other than the few Headcoatees songs I have on my computer and her cover of Pavement's "Box Elder", I've heard nothing from Ms. Golightly. I shall investigate further as I really like thee Headcoatees and the Pavement cover quite a bit.

This is really intrigueing. Someone I've been interested in but heard very little by.

This looks great Rob. Quite a few things I'm missing. We'll need to deal for some of this on '06.
