Comment:

My long-planned Camper mix, not intended to supplant popkulcher's fine Camper mix (although they share several songs, of course). These folks meant a lot to me in the 80's, but I hadn't listened to them in awhile. When I did, I was really surprised at how much of their stuff holds up for me... so much so that there may be a second volume. Last tracks cut: "The Humid Press of Days", "Photograph", "Cattle (Reversed)", "Joe Stalin's Cadillac", "One of These Days", "Circles", "Oh No!"... the list could go on for quite awhile.

Great band. Too bad they're gear got stolen during their reunion tour in the fall. Miraculously, I still think they managed to finish it. Anyway, you got a lot of my favourites on here.

this is nice. I was introduced to them this year during an in-store performance. I've been a fan ever since! :)

Nice tribute, Rob. I really enjoyed seeing them again last year and the music did hold up...

This looks really nice, Rob - haven't listened to them in a while, but I definitely should. It's really nice when you go back to something you haven't listened to in a while and it still holds up (and you discover tracks you never knew you liked as much as you did).

ah the nostalgia . . . I guess these guys are famous mostly for having one of the top ten bowling songs of all time, but this reminds me that they did a lot of other good works . . .

Quite great, of course. Incidentally, the new (reunion) album is quite good; yes, a fair amount of filler (as on all their albums), and a somewhat odd thematic concept album thing going on, but a handful of songs that are among the best they've ever done. Hell, 2 or 3 that are easily among the best tunes of the year. I may have to revisit my mix to update it.
