Comment:

Getting back into the mix groove, so I thought I'd try my hand at the old Frankenstein mix thing. Here are the categories and some explanations: 1)A song from the last record you bought. Finally got around to picking up this Giant Sand lp. Great stuff. 2) A blues: not necessarily a blues record but something labelled a blues. 3) A song that gets you going in the morning. I've always loved this song about getting away from an annoying person. It's so upbeat. And I was so happy when, on a trip to Scotland, my discovery of the Isle of Skye suddenly made a line in this song clear. 4) A romantic song. 5) One of the earliest records you can remember. This is the first record I every owned. I cut it out from the back of a cereal box (Frosted Flakes I think)! 6) A song you discovered from a film. In this case it was "Sexy Beast" (a film that also features an incredible use of a Stranglers song ). 7) A song from your favorite band. A tough category; does anyone over the age of 16 really have a favorite band? I toyed with throwing a Fall track in here but ultimately went with the Fab Four. An obvious choice perhaps, but, hey, I do love 'em. 8) Song from an artist you don't otherwise like. I kind of cheated here. There are a couple of PJ tunes I don't mind (though I find their general catalogue to be a little too earnest for my taste). This is one that I just plain like. 9) A lullaby. 10) A song that makes you laugh. 11) A really good cover version. 12) A song that reminds you of school days. This was a big radio hit in my early adolescence. I still love it. 13) A song from an artist you are embarrassed to admit you like. I might be cheating with this category too. I don't like Fleetwood Mac at all; in fact, I hate 'em. And I especially can't stand Stevie Nicks' whole California gypsy queen persona. So I'm doubly embarrassed to admit that I like this song. Sold on it by Red Kross's great version. 14) Something funky. 15) A song for quiet, rainy days. This is off the "Early Recordings" lp, all of which is great for a rainy day. 16) A song that always makes you feel good. 17) A song with the word "look" in the title. 18) From a member of the Dead Rocker's Society. I was originally going to use a Bon Scott-era AC/DC tune but then heard this song on the radio and changed my mind. 19) Favorite Elvis song. I can't say I have a definitive favorite but I like this one pretty well. 20) Wild Card: any song you like. Seemed like a good way to bookend the whole thing.
