Comment:

Another quickie. I did some pretty serious editing of two songs (eliminating the tedious intros to both the Squarepusher and Fiery Furnaces tracks, as well as the short but unnecessary intro to the Fall track) and pruned the ending from the Flaming Lips song in order to increase available space and continuity. That West Indian Girl song is a bit of a guilty pleasure of mine these days, but DAMN what a guilty pleasure. Title from Pete Shelley & Co. [Note: This wound up being not-so-quick, since, as per usual these days, I revised this within 24 hours of posting it. The second half is better, though, making it more of a match for the first half. And believe it or not, that Sabbath song required a bit of trimming, as well, in order for me to keep up the flow of the mix.]

This looks great. Love the minuteme through Husker Du section especially, which reminds me of my college days (love that Swell Maps tune). Good work!

Really lovely, Rob - this is very much up my street! I always love the Fiery Furnaces, and that 14 -> 20 stretch looks just awesome. Similarly, I'm yet to experience West Indian Girl - will have to, though, if it's that much of a guilty pleasure!

Nice variety! I'm impressed by the quality of your mixes. Is that Libertines song a cover of Cat Stevens' "Don't Be Shy"?

Exceptional mix Robby. You trimmed a Black Sabbath song?! You're going to pay for that dearly one day.

Quick is slick, but with revision you get more precision.
Nightclubbing then Bo Diddley, good move . . . I believe!

I knew exactly how this one should end from the title. Reminds me of the night twenty something years ago when I had to hold my radio just right to pick up the college station playing that Buzzcocks tune `cause I was dying to find out who it was. Didn't catch this one prior to revisionism, but damn, you got so many of my favorites here. Don't know West Indian Girl, but it's gotta be fine to wind up in this company.

No such thing as a guilty pleasure!!! This all looks great except that Flaming Lips song, which i hate. And for some reason I can't get into Fiery Furnaces... too over-the-top for me. But I'm sure you make it all work, as usual :-)
