Comment:

On a downtrodden road inside my CD/record collection I've picked out some songs from well before my birth. This one wavers towards blues and country but there's plenty of psychedelia to paint pictures in your head. Title from the song that Jim Carrey popularized for my generation, "Somebody to Love," from his ill-fated film, The Cable Guy.

This looks really cool to me. The Cable Guy is ill-fated? Really? It's literally the only Jim Carrey film that I ever liked prior to Eternal Sunshine...

Ditto the others, a nice mix with a good assortment of artists. I like the inclusion of the Electric Prunes--that track has always been a favorite of mine.

Quite superb. I love all Jim Carrey's movies. I think he appeals to the wackier side of me, which is about 90% according to my beloved wife! Always always always GREAT to see the Prunes on a mix!

Nice mix of styles & classic & lesser known tunes. Although. like mckbrd, I have a hard time fitting 1910 in there in my mind's ear (as another mixer opined on one of my mixes)?

This looks really, really great. Solid all the way through. The Cable Guy is an all-time classic at our house. "We need an ambulance over by the scaffolding"

Yeah - I agree with Sean on tracks 1 and 21, and I am impressed you actually have the 1910 Fruitgum on CD. Or did you guiltily visit Blubster?
