Comment:

These are leftover tracks, losers in the competition to get on previous mixes, eclectic tunes I can now delete from the hard drive. All were recorded from vinyl (with varying levels of competence). Cover star: Lenny Brenner from Mad magazine.

I guess I can scratch that photo from my "prospective cover pics" list! Great layout on the cover - nicely done as always.
You've got a lot of faves here - great picks from Shoes, Wreckless Eric, Bee Gees, Silicon Teens...you know, I could go on...

Great collection of picks... especially Split Enz, Shoes, Ian Dury, and the wonderful Fabulous Poodles. I have a bunch of their vinyl I'll have to dig out and give a spin.

Loads of leftover excellence (yesterday's pizza? C'mon!), as usual, though I guess I'll pass on that Tomita (TOMITA???) track . . . ;)

Nice! Can't believe no one has given you shit for including Olivia Newton John. I guess we're all scared of you! ;)

Well, maybe this mix would give Olivia a better, more interesting context ... I don't know that I could learn to tolerate "Sister Golden Hair" but ya never know ...

I'll defend the ONJ pick, and not JUST becasue she was my first celebrity crush. Especially sandwiched between Wreckless Eric and the Fab Poodles I think it works just fine. I've also recently been won over to many songs in the America catalog - including Sister Golden Hair (although the Hummingbird's killer cover of that song had a little to do with it for me).
