Comment:

Love, longing, loss, long distance love ... ambivalence, anger, longing, it's all here. Oh, those first few weeks of separation ... don't they go on forever, night and day forever?








Well, the Bud Powell that closes this is, for my money, absolutely the saddest, loneliest, most wistful 2 minutes of anything I have ever heard. You will find your heart in your hand, broken, by the end of it.

Kudos and thanks to the AoTMers who contributed a number of things here ...

nice one !
ahhhh...I used to torture myself in High School, after breaking up with girlfriends, by listening to that Jackson Browne tune several times in a row (still have the LP--luckily, haven't had to use it recently)...
'twas a cathartic experience...and I'd always think I'd never get another girlfriend, but...

Oh, this looks wonderfully painful. I especially love that Lucinda Williams tune.

Despite the sad content, I think that this is one of your best mixes ever. Every song a heartbreaker...

If you threw in "She Thinks I Still Care", I'd be a pathetic mess crying on the floor (now I'm just a pathetic mess). One of the best I've seen in the "Break Up" genre.

Wow - this does seem to tug (or yank) at the heartstrings. Back in my dating days I could not listen to sad songs after a breakup - I tended to turn to the angry punk to help with the denial of pain. This mix looks great - top notch from start to finish. I'll agree that this is actually an artfully crafted mix.

Gosh, y'all! I almost didn't post this mix as I was afraid it was too maudlin ... plus, I'd have to say that that Fifth Dimension cut is a guilty pleasure. /// Adam, I had that Lucinda tune, but I didn't really hear it until you sent me your Emmylou compilation. "Love Hurts" comes from the same place ... Plus, if y'all don't know the first tune, it's a film noir punk love song ... sooo good ...

This is beautiful Sally. The stretch from Lucinda Williams to Joe Turner is as good as it gets. Agreed on the Bud Powell track. A bitter irony that his mind was, in fact, filled to it's breaking point.

Trying to read Radio Sally's mixes always gives me a headache... that's not to say there's anything wrong with that though.

This makes me feel young, which is a 1st. Everyone knows the experience, + you've done a beautiful job of putting it to music. Lots of learning for a guy like me here. Out.
