Comment:

I've included LP/CD/45 info and year released for the fun of it. I plan on writing a bit about this mix on my website (http://www.livejournal.com/users/marimbadog), but have only written so far about my intro to mixtape making back in the mid-1970s--I plan to write about the individual songs on this mix when I get a chance. Tips o' the hat to Sean Lally for the Gladhands song and to Mo Twang! for the Devo song.

Fun! I really love that Was/Not was track. And of course the Ramones - who thought that they could make such a great anti-Reagan song.
