Comment:

i'm sick of music today. i'm sick of pretentious indie rockers. i'm sick of neo-soul and neo-garage and the "new wave of new wave." i'm sick of overhyped bands that fail to deliver. i'm sick of reading the same article about the strokes in spin magazine each month. i'm sick of bands who make careers out of removing the barely-beating heart from joy division's music. i'm sick of ryan adams, who was once the most promising songwriter around, becoming a fame-obsessed parody of his roots. i'm sick of music systematically losing its soul.

I understand where you're coming from up to a point but disagree that music is losing its soul. Nice mix though!

Life's too short to get worked up over
artificial "saviour of the universe" NME-style hype. Just enjoy the music you like and to hell with everyone else. Although I agree it's sad when a good artist falls victim to his own press and his work suffers as a result.

I'm with you, but there IS plenty of great music out there still. Anyway, I really love this mix. :D
