Comment:

Made to add to the dance at krautfreak's celebration-party-bachanal tonight..., he said his tribe "could definitely dance for 80 minutes", I threw in a slight break at the 23-minute mark...but it kicks back in and rolls on to the end of the pvc...that mash-up at track three is a thing of beauty. Persephone descends. Happy Solstice eve to all....the return of the Sun soon.

I may recognize the cover work, and I dig your mix and esp Lee Michaels (but the rest is cool too)

Xcellent shtuff all round. And yeah, I do love your music! Can't wait to hear this. (That Rod Stewart tune is well worth a alight break for the fiddles alone . . .)

Two mixes in a month? My goodness, you are blazing a trail, Valis! Love all of this. Nice to see the snobs, dandys, toots and the lesser known Stones track.

Great all around. Can't go wrong with Eddie. I haven't heard any Lee Michaels in a loooong time...lets see, when did I get my last tattoo.

Yep..., I like both tracks. Thought this one by Jimmy Bo worked better going into the Toots cover..

Excellent!!! Especially the Inspiral Carpets and the Persian Rugs (which wasn't meant to be a floor covering coupling until after I typed it - hmmm... a possible new theme disc?). That would be quite a party if this was the soundtrack.

Like Gerry says, you're on fire! You're a mix makin' machine! Anyway, I'm familiar with more of the songs on this than your last ambient mix. Wish I could have attended the shindig where this groovy little collection was played. How did it go over?

If you like mashups check out my mix titled "Mix and Mash." Continuous mix of mashups from 12" vinyl. Thanks for reminding me about Inspiral Carpets. I remember hearing about them on the orignal Real World.

Kept getting doppelgangered every time I previously tried to comment, still better late than never; This definately does the trick for me.

good stuff too, valis; I recently read Sweet Soul Music and I gotta get me some more Booker T. As for the 'random kindness' stuff, let's just say I got busted by a security guy who thought I was stealing from the store... and people are not so nice in paris, but you made me think about starting again, so thanks.
