Comment:

Originally a sample for a guy in my songwriting class at The New School to represent my tastes in music at the time... he said my music sounded like Frank Zappa and that i would like The Shaggs, and i responded accordingly, hopefully... but then, despite the fact that the class had three sessions left, i never saw him again; i suppose it's fair game by now? i actually think this is one of my best mixes, maybe simply because it contains many many songs and artists dear to my heart. (Notes: Track 1 is from a "Music, Russia and Chagall" compilation CD my mom sent me at college, and it's a highly entertaining classical composition from 19th-century Russia; Turner Cody is an up-and-coming artist on the New York "anti-folk" scene who i know personally; John French, former multi-instrumentalist for Captain Beefheart's Magic Bands, performs this amazing five-minute drum solo on French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson's album "Live, Love, Larf and Loaf"; I Giullari Di Piazza is an ensemble that plays Italian Renaissance folk music; The Dark Staircase Company is an abandoned electronic project courtesy of one Chris Yates, who sold me his album "That's What The Monsters Do" for $5 when he was still a RISD student; suffice it to say it was a good deal, and "Megamanning" is the cream of the crop, at least for a video game obsessive like me.)
