Comment:
Another round of action-packed, closed-fist, no-holds-barred mix tape competition. I might have mentioned before that I was only able to trump Bil once with a mix tape, and even then with a novelty song; he did it countless times to me, and this mix is a good example of the wild cards he pulled out. The phenomenal Boss Hogg from their first album; Tackhead, the first time I heard anything produced by Adrian Sherwood; old-school crooner Frankie Masters; Tom Waits before his voice got all fucked up; that incestuous Serge Gainsbourg track; and "Have Mercy, Mister Percy", the absolute highlight of the mix, sweet, laid-back rocksteady. I remember taking this mix with me in the car for a hundred-mile drive, and by the time I got home, "Step Right Up" was playing and made the whole trip worth it...=]'Feedback:
On this page it has The termites as singing have mercy, mister percy. Who wrote that song?
