Comment:
What I've learnt from these mixes is I missed out on a lot of U.S. Post Punk that Reynolds details - the stuff he talks about occasionally turns up on the free Cd with magazine but rarely - if memory serves me bands like Black Flag (missing from my mix) appealed to a hard core section and if I heard them I didn't like them - I came to Husker Du or lateish Du well after they'd split.I was very much a Gun Club/ Cramps / BParty kind of guy.. the only exposure to U.S. Post Punk was through The Repo Man Sndtrck & a compilation of Frontiere Records..I think R'n'Roll seperates The UK from the U.S. - the UK is not a R'n'Roll nation although it has had a great love affair with it since Haley arrived on it's shores. What we do excel at is inventiveness, outrage & weirdness which is as much to do with our Island Race mentality as it is say with our climate. So, once again apologies to US. Mixers for missings bands like The Minutemen & Black Flag (you're more likely to find Henry Rollins' writings here than a Black Flag CD) but I'm sure you'd be hard pressed to find some of the UK Artists I've featured in the last 3 Volumes. Some artists I've left out on purpose as they've appeared in previous chapters.CHAPTER 21 New Gold Dreams (1-6)
CHAPTER 22 Dark Things (7-12) (Side 2) (1-3)
CHAPTER 23 Glory Boys (4-9)
CHAPTER 24 The Blasting Concept (10-13)
Feedback:
Brilliant. Makes me want to read the book and have your soundtrack.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yea-ahh...
Toblerone!
Toblerone!
Another winner, Dom!
Superb.Again.
This has been a fascinating and informative series. A lot of these bands are new to me, and I'll need to check out those bands and the book itself. I think your observations about the US and UK make a lot of sense: the common starting point of R&R has frequently made American artists more accessible to me; the "inventiveness, outrage & weirdness" of UK artists have often made them more difficult for me to get into, but have just as often been what I ended up loving about them most. (Of course, there are lots of exceptions, but this is still I think a useful generalization.)
Once again, well done. I hope you do give The Minutemen a chance - dancable, political and funny (and short songs, so if you don't like one its over!). D. Boone was pretty amazing and for a really big guy (round) he was an amazing dancer. (The Residents & The Minutemen - gotta check 'em out)
The Huskers and the Minutemen are two of my 20 favorite bands of all-time (the early-to-mid Huskers stuff places them in my top 10). I'll happily send you my mixes for each of those bands... along with Black Flag, if you wish... when our minds clear a bit. Again, beautiful mix... although Simple Minds kind of mak me gag, they *are* in the book.
I saw the Blue Orchids circa 1981 at the Lyceum in London.They were supporting the Bay City Rollers!
If you don't have any Minutemen I'd suggest starting with their LP Double Nickels On The Dime.It really seethes with political anger and vitriol but is much more palatable than Black Flag.And then there's the first two Firehose LP's....but I digress,this mix is wonderful.
