Comment:
As the title suggests, this mix is for my dad... He's been a really big influence on my love of music, despite the fact that he's not HALF the music geek I am. Truth be told, he had kind of a short attention span (hence the repeated artists and big hits) but his entusiasm rubbed off on me. I specifically remember him tooling around in the garage as my sister and I rode our bikes and played in the driveway, and a song by the Cars coming on ("Good Times Roll") and he called us into the garage and turned it up really loud and danced around in that white guy jerky-but-passionate way... One of many childhood music memories... Now that he's several states away, I thought this might be a nice "thinking of you" gift. :)(special thanks to Rob for the recent Costello trade -- the This Years Model tracks were the spark that started this one).
Feedback:
Good times, good music.
Very nice, and a sweet note, too.
nice ones around
This looks really sweet and very cool. I wish *my* dad liked Elvis Costello...
Very nice. My kids better start making me mixes like this!
quite excellent! I couldn't get enough of that Cars album back in 78. it was da bomb then.
My dad was also a ridiculous dancer. I aspire to those heights ;) nice mix, great gift.
Ahhh, Two Steps from the Blues .... what a great album. Lotsa other good picks too!
this reminds me of my father as well. it's a very good mix. i also grew up listening to the talking heads and the rolling stones, raised on a steady diet of rock and roll, as the saying goes.
Mmmm...a lot of these were playing from the 3rd floor stereo of my college fraternity house back in '78. And yeah, that Cars album was the rage when it first came out.
Nice one!
Nice one!
If only my daughter would make mixes like this.Another cracker, Laura.
Nothing wrong with hits when they're this good!
Very nice! I could definitely do the old white guy herky jerky dance to this. I'm sure your Cars-lover dad will shake a tailfeather to this.
Very nice, I'm sure he'll love it!
Great selections.
Very nice stuff - Speaking as a dad myself - I'm sure yours will love it.
Lots of classics here. Nice notes too.
My old man would like this one Laura, as do I. Posting some stuff to you today btw.
I think my dad would love this as well! Nice liner notes for the whole thing - I'm sure he'll really, really appreciate it.
a lot of my all-time faves on this as well! (my dad would hate it, but all he listens to is classical)
