Comment:

The idea behind the selection of tracks I included here began with trying to highlight songs that weren't from albums I was familiar with, often in fact being the only song I knew by the particular artist, or songs from compilations etc. In other words, sort of a meta-compilation of "stray" songs I'd acquired mostly over the last year or so. There are some exceptions, but that remains a pretty good description of what's here. One of things I've discovered about making mixes on computer is the joy of being able to manipulate sequencing far more readily than with cassette-based mixes. Once I've ripped the tracks, I can sequence them in any number of trial orders, and actually hear how Song A sounds going into Song B. Consequently, one of the things I try to do is create nice transitions from one track to another, whether those work in terms of key relations, sound, rhythm, or sometimes thematically (there are a couple of purely verbal-related transitions here-although if they don't work for me sonically, I tend to avoid them). A couple tracks even crossfade ever so slightly, courtesy some relatively new software I picked up. Here's the first part
