Comment:

Thanks to the hi-fi of lo-fi jr for the Gits track.Fuck...Ok, ok, of course the Gits track is from Trout Fishing in Outer Space an incomparable Mohr mix. By way of an explanation (not an excuse, an explanation), I've stolen a track from a lo-fi jr mix for an upcoming mix and inexcusably mixed up the acknowledgments. Crime really doesn't pay does it?Anyway, I will send a private message to Mohr, but thought a public mea culpa appropriate. And just so everyone knows, I am having myself (a little to the left...thanks...) paddled right now as punishment.

You really can't go wrong with the Carpenters or Elvis. So when you put them together, you get double points.

my favorite belle & sebastian song, and anyone who can put the carpenters on the same mix as black dice, is either a genius, or in need of psychiatric help, ha.

Apart from the fact that I suspect you got the Gits from yours truly, this looks mighty fine, indeed, M. Brvlant.

Fan-fucking-tastic, Mr. Burns! The Elvis into Black Dice seals the deal for me everytime. :-)

Really excellent - I love too much to name on here. What stands out for me is that lovely B&S pick, Dusty Springfield and the great ending!

Looks superb, Curtis. I like the opening section and the Carpenters moments (also making a brief appearance on my next Mood).

OK, this one is just kicking my ass in the most amazing way! Too many great choices to single anything out. You are THIS close to having a AotM wing named after you.

Really awesome - I'd love to hear this one....I'm listening to the People Like Us deconstruction of "Close to You" and it is fucking brilliant.
