Nice tunes! Especially the Soft Boys and Patti tracks. Pshaw. hornets buzz at things that are actually controversial.

Ever since I first heard Bill Hicks use the phrase "He looked like a dog watching a card trick" it's been a favorite of mine. Years ago I made a mix tape (pre CD mix days) called Card Tricks for Dogs. But enough (or too much) about me...
Great mix (as usual) and great picks from XTC, Wire, and Teardrop Explodes.

Excellence from start to finish. Can't open too many worm-cans regarding Uncle George . . .

You've got to love political mixes and this one is a fine addition to the canon (or cannon. Ooh, puns!)

Hehe - very well executed! All political opinions aside (although the songs are perfect for the theme), I love so much of the stuff on here, especially the Teardrop Explodes, Wire, La's...and, oh, just all of it!

Hey Sally Anne. Please don't apologise for being American. People all over the world are basically decent, it's those in power who are twisting things and making the world a dangerous place for ordinary decent human beings. If you had a really democratic society and a proper free press, where the truth was printed, and not filtered through about five channels before reaching the public arena, then a rich, spoiled, warmongering playboy would never have been elected. Put him and his poodle Blair in the front line if they like spreading "democracy" so much, not innocent young men and women.

"...a rich, spoiled, warmongering playboy would never have been elected." You forgot the quotes around "elected". It was as fraudulent an election as is imaginable.

You can "elect" leaders now? Hmmm, that's an interesting concept - our king is appointed by 9 of his dress-wearing buddies.

Kick ass, Gerry. And that expression seems to be a constant one with Dubya, really...

Great mix. Great title. Great cover. I saw a great sticker on the back of a flag decorated pickup yesterday... "Bush is a Dumbass". It's really time to put an end to dubya.

Great mix. You know, most of my favorite music these days seems to be coming from Scotland. There must be something in the Scottish water because every poster to AoM from there seems to have great musical taste. Funny cover as well.
