Comment:
CHEEKS comes to you tightly wound in a black nylon wrapper. You fiddle with the tape at the edges politely, only to realize that you'll have to tear it open to get to the goods inside. CHEEKS is 24 tracks (mostly) about the nakedness, frustration, and vertigoes inherent in desire, and the sneaky little ways we find around them. CHEEKS is a sequel to TRAMP. Most of the songs were first intended for the 5-disc LOVE IN THE THIRD DEGREE. Edition of 25.
Feedback:
wow, this is great. the fact that you have gang of four and mogwai on the same mix is priceless. cool.
bad ass!
This is really good - well done and ditto BLT on the Gang of Four and Mogwai tracks (just so happens to be my favourite GOF song!) I like your use of spoken-word and otherwise unusual tracks too.
very impressive
Very nice - Haven't heard that Pretenders tune in a long while - too long, I'd wager - nice cover, too.
This makes me feel like an obsessive fool who strangely is attracted to the rejections of his uninterested lover. It makes me feel wanton and dangerous.....completely without shame....raw and yearning for the smallest affection of my one true love. give it to me one more time, baby....that's all i ask....i don't care if i'm not the ony one.
Check out Sweet's other mixes.....damn, the kid is hot!

This looks fantastic. Especially the stretch from the Troggs to Johnny Thunders. Love, love, love the packaging, but, uhm, where'd you get the two sided CDs ;-)
LOVE THE MIX NICE COVER
CHEEKS also had 2 secret tracks: first, the entire performance of Cage's 4' 33" by Zappa, then Eddie Money's Two Tickets to Paradise.
