Comment:

firstly, this is a cd not a cassette but given the number of tracks i've set it as such

in my opinion this is the best mix i've ever made and defintely the most fun to make up... full to the brim of absolute gems which taken time to dig out... basically the concept behind it is that all the songs are under two minutes in length, hence giving a minimum of 40 songs on an 80min cd... (i'm sure that lots of others here will have tried this before)... i could've filled this full of filler songs from albums but instead i've carefully selected only the finest songs i could find and organised them in the best order i could... it's eclectic yet coherent, one short track seamlessly mixing into the next... it's a big party (albeit with its own reflective moments) there's pop, rock, punk, metal, rap, hiphop, dance, folk, an italian tv theme and captain beefheart... old songs, new songs, well known songs, rare songs (and captain beefheart)... 54 songs and it's all good... and yes radiohead next to har mar superstar works...
