Comment:
This is one of a couple of mixes I recently made for my brother, mostly as a result of a conversation we had in which I said "Would you like a mix?" and he said "Okay". I like making mixes for him; he enjoys getting all the slightly off-kilter stuff that I want to include on mixes, but don't think anyone else would really approve of! The aim here really was to be as deliberately mixed up as possible - it's a nice challenge. Also, a recent "find" of mine, recommended to me by a friend, has been the soundtrack to the British TV series A History of Britain (Simon Schama presented it), which features John Harle's modern re-workings of traditional songs dating from the Middle Ages. It's very unique and has some wonderful tracks on it: the one on this mix (O Mistress Mine), is performed by Elvis Costello. I'd definitely recommend it. Advert over! And finally, I have to thank Ken very much for the wonderful Animal Collective song. The title comes from the Erase Errata track.
Feedback:
some really fun pop here. every mix should have the mummies and honeycombs!
Luv the look of this one Siobhan!
Another great one. The Knack, Go-Betweens, Minus Five and Kate Bush tracks look especially nice. I've been trying to work on mixing it up a bit more myself these days, but whenever I get a chance to work on a mix, it invariably ends up leaning pretty heavily towards the psych/folk end of the spectrum. (it is what I've been listening to a lot these days, I suppose). We'll have to put together another trade soon, huh?
I wish my sister would make me something like this.
No sibling has ever given me a mix tape - one of the few drawbacks of being an only child. But if I did have a sister, I would be gracious to receive such a wonderful gift.
Excellent.
Other than the fact that the thought of Gary Puckett & the Union Gap covering Lady Madonna scares be a bit, I really love this mix. I particularly like that David Byrne to Eddie Cochran to House of Love.
I'm with Jim re: Gary Puckett the rest looks great, though.
This is great, despite my shared aversion of all things Puckett.
Ooooh this is so good. Love the Honeycombs! Would love to get the info on that Simon Schama series and soundtrack. and congratulations on graduation. What now?

I like Gary Puckett, though I haven't heard that version of Lady Madonna. I especially love that David Byrne tune. Nice mix.
I gotta take a stand and defend GP & the Union Gap, since one of the members (the guy with the round glasses and the blonde bowl haircut) taught me to play the saxophone.
Very very nice
Yes, some nice ones. Especially like the Only Ones, Skids, Byrne, & House of Love.
