This is really cool, though that Fleetwood Mac track always rubs me the wrong way. Great Pretty Things track. Same with Robyn, Devendra, and more.

What great mix! Or a "one fingered victory salute" would work.

Yes this mix is number one! Maybe I mentioned this before, but did you know that the late Robert Palmer used to cover New Day Rising at the start of his concerts? I heard it with my own two ears at the Open Air Theater at San Diego State University.

Coupla underrated favs in the Specials, Pretties & Hitchcock picks. Hell, even the dreaded Dead & Mac look good in this company.

Nifty all around. The Pretties medley is one of my favorites; I'm Straight is timeless; and always good to see Tusk recognized alongside other edgier fare.

Any mix that pairs up Paul McCartney and Elliott Smith is A-OK in my book. :-)
