Comment:

A lot of old favourites are in the 1 through 9 slots, with 10 through 15 being new favourites. Sort of. I've always liked french cabaret but I never really knew any of the artists until somebody educated me on it. Eleven through 13 are three of my favs right now. Fourteen and 15 are recent country discoveries. Old traditional bluegrass country is where it's at...and the stylings of Neko Case, of course!

"Mixed Genre" indeed! It's always good to make a mix satisfying yourself.

Come to think of it, Edith Piaf and Neko Case have a lot iin common. Very nice mix.

Whoa, interesting and cool. Opening with "Peking O" is truly ballsy.

This looks fucking spectacular. Especially dig the Can and SY openers and the Palace->Pavement stretch. Really, really great.

I love the truly eclectic mixes that work. Looks great. (and so what if you like Traditional Bluegrass)

Yes. Begin by satisfying yourself, and if others like it, the joy of mixing is doubled! A really enjoyable looking bunch of stuff here. Hopefully, we could set up a trade in the new year, if you're interested.

Really really cool, I've always wanted to hear Van Dyke P. "Candle" is always nice to see, people don't go on about that side of Sy enough recently

Very nice indeed! Appreciate the Gastr del Sol inclusion - haven't listened to them in a while and they came into my head just the other day for no apparent reason. Also love the Gainsbourg, Piaf and, bien sur, Brel. Excellent stuff.

everything old is new again, & vice versa . . . something borrowed, something blue . . . a great melange!

"I Love John, She Loves Paul?" Never heard the song, but that sounds like the story of my life! Nice mix dude.
