It doesn't really make sense if you don't listen to it....which you can.

I don't really know most of the songs, but this looks fascinating. Doris Day followed by Iggy Pop is quite perverse. Good job.

I know I'm commenting twice here, but I can't help it - This whole package is just incredible - though there is certainly some stiff competiton this week, I'm thinking MotW here. Great, great job.

It all makes sense. Especially the Doris Day -> Iggy Pop. Welcome back to the, uhm, proverbial fold.

Dammit, Curtis...I am not really back....just kind of sneaking in.....squeezing one out.....pinching one off. Well, maybe not that. But it would be good to be back, thanks.

nicely eclectic mix. I haven't as yet checked out your website, but be assured I will now. Anyone who produces 84 volumes of anything deserves to be listened to!

Excellent! Love the clips from Belleville Rendezvous. Great use of tools to mangle ends of songs, etc - especially the yoddling reprise in Flaming Lips. A lovely mix, full of humour & skill :)

Wow. I'm overwhelmed, thank you. And I've learned a great do word very appropriate for editing: mangle. I will use it with fondness. Thanx, again.

Absolutely, positively, you-betcha! The only thing that I can't believe is that none of Jon's other mixes have ever been chosen as MotW - Jon, this mix rocks, your concept rocks and your website is one of the best I've ever seen. I bow before you, unworthy. Congratulations!

Wellllllll, first of all, thanks to everyone who listened. There was an hour's worth of subliminal advertising in that mix and my shares in Zippy's AutoWax were sold today at six times what I paid for them. Seriously, you guys and gals really made me smile today with an added bonus of absolute known satisfaction. I was beginning to feel like the Susan Lucci of AOTM but, now, I know truly in my heart that I must be the Sally Fields of AOTM. And I do look forward with great interest, of passing on that distinction ASAP. Again, thanx.

P, RM and Dom, thanx a lot on all accounts. I think I lied about something, though. It really doesn't make sense even if you listen to it. Perhaps this is nothing but Impressionist Audio? Maybe I should have fuzzed up the cover, eh?

:) Really - thanx.

Welcome back to the AotM fold Jon! I've missed seeing your mixes and I'm really glad to see you back. When I was a young pup at the AotM farm your mixes were some of the first that kicked my ass and the quality of your artwork (along with Lennart Saaf'sinspired me to step up my own mix covers. And listening to your mixes online made many a crappy morning at work more tolerable. As always, great mix. Love the Iggy, Doris Day, and Ramones picks. I can't believe that this your first MotW. Congrats - I hope you celebrate by making another!
