Comment:

Not much to say, other than I will probably avoid placing CCR on my next mix after they've appeared on this and my last one. heh At any rate, this was fun and it flows. End o' story. Thanks to various and sundry friends of mine around my hometown for some of these tracks. Title from the Shins tune. Revised 7-23-04.

Looks exciting Rob! I'm listening a lot to Magnetic fields these days.

Lots of cool stuff. It's always (check that: often) nice to see Stevie Wonder.

Holy shit, this looks great, Rob. Ditto Mo Twang on the opening, but the whole damn thing is pretty rockin'.

Looks lovely - nice lyric too! Love the Stone Roses slotted in the middle there; I'd imagine it works wonderfully well after the Magnetic Fields.

Glad I caught this before it disappeared - what with the spate of single person mix-opolies. Good stuff, babe. I hope you're not giving a back-handed compliment to CCR, though. I think that most of their stuff really holds up well.

What a title! Killer way to open any mix and one of my fave Cheap Trick songs. I'll also back up CCR and say that all of their singles still stand up (I still only have one album other than the hits collection so I can't judge their album cuts output but I'm thinking it has to be good).

why should that be the last CCR song to appear on one of your mixes, Rob? They were a great fun band, if a little derivative. Almost every band is derivative to a greater or lesser extent. However, this is not a criticism, as I do not criticise mixes, merely an observation, which I hope you won't take personally, Rob. This is a great mix (there, I've used the word great, once again! (self criticism?)). Love every track on this one, especially the stone roses, bob weir and beatles. Nicely done, once again, Mr Conroy

Thanks a lot for all of the positive remarks. A clarification re: CCR... I like them well enough, particularly a few songs ("Lodi", "Back Door", "Ramble Tamble", "It's Just a Thought", in particular), but think that they're massively overrated. By saying that this was the end of CCR on my mixes, I guess that I was just acknowledging that this was the second mix in a row to feature them.

Mighty impressive, Rob, though I disagree with your CCR assessment.

Carpenters & Ayler! Yikes! Fantastic Godz pick as well. Seems like it was sometime last year that we talked about the quality of that Cheap Trick song.

Like it! Buzzcocks, Bob Weir (although I may have personally heard that song about 100 times too many) ... Cheap Trick and John Cale.

well, sir, I hope you ain't down with a lot of the totally immoral things bob weir would like to do to a mexican teen, but this is a killer mix! one note: it's all too much is a solo Harrison song and you've IDed it as a beatles tune, but thats okay.

I still very much like how you have Foold Gold placed dead centre! Glad to hear you had fun revising the mixes too - they look really very nice indeed, and it's a good thing to do sometimes. Oh yes, and I like the Morrissey too!

Nicely Shins referenced title - makes me laugh every time. Great stuff abounds - dig the James gang, Frith, Burma, blah blah blah.
