Comment:

For the hell of it. And this one was fun. Title from the unreleased Frampton Brothers protest classic that not only features fellow AotM'er Sean Lally on guitar bur also remains as relevant lyrically today as it was in 1991.

I dig "Rave On" going right into Debora (since she DID look like a Zeb-ora). Good work.

Lots of nice little touches on this. Is that a love version of Holly Holy?

sorry, I've got fat fingers this morning. I meant to say is that a 'live' version?

Excellent mix-up, Rob! There's this year's hat trick again with the latest by Cave, Waits & Costello. I think it's been over ten years since I so fully enjoyed anything by these three artists as much.

Fantastic, Rob. Really dig the opener AND the closer along with pretty much everything in between. Haven't heard the new Nick Cave yet, but it's on my list.

I don't know if this mix makes the world safe for GM but it sure enhances our listening please.

Nice! Glad to see Lemmings on a mix - it's one of my faves from this period. Yep, everything old is new again.

All over the road, yet somehow still between the lines. The Devendra and Rex together is no accident.
Nice.

Love the flow of this one Rob, the grouping of different sections works really well.
