Comment:

My latest, freshly minted mixed-genre confection. Enjoy. Thanks to my fellow record geek Adam S. for the Spoon song and the Neil Diamond song on this and my last mixed-genre mix (he needs to start posting mixes here); thanks to my friend Erik for the Erasure song (which I admittedly had on cassette when it was released in 1988/89). Title from Mr. Jarvis (JC) Cocker. "Brother Love..." is dedicated to popkulcher.

Very cool. Love the Todd Rundgren -> Wilco and Dolly Parton through Nancy Sinatra stretches especially though not exclusively.

The Dillard & Clark is great (or combined into "Dillark", I guess), as is everything else here, really. Nice one.

Quite cool -- I think the 2nd Jam album is underrated; "I'm The Man..." is my personal fave from the last Wilco disc, and, geez, I can't believe you went and used Brother Love. It's been... wow, almost 2 months since I last caught Super Diamond, San Francisco's finest Neil Diamond tribute band, and that's always a highlight of their show.

Good variety of stuff, mate. Lives up to the mixed genre category. We got to do another swap one of these years.

Great opener, and the Rundgren, La's, Kinks, and Joe Tex (!), also a nice Spoon pick and Pulp, too...

Brilliant! I always like when something I've been into appears on someone else's mix, and in this case it's the Dillard & Clark track.

Another great genre shaker, Rob. Empty Hearts, Diamond & Dolly, now that's a mix up.

Great mix, Rob. That Dillard and Clark song is one of my favorites--one of those songs you put on the stereo and listen to for hours on end (leastways, I do).
