When your work means nothing at all
Comment:
This was a quick one, done on the fly after a long hike in the park. Despite what appears to be an underlying break-up theme (at least in parts, although I wasn't really "going" for that), I'm dedicating it to gaucho/krautfreak in honor of our music-geek bonding night last week and as a nod to our similar mixing styles. I know that he'll appreciate the no-frills flow of this one--it doesn't jump through hoops to get your attention and (on paper, anyway) the juxtapositions aren't as "out there" as a lot of my mixed-genre mixes, and it doesn't stretch itself to include lots of geek-pleasing obscure artists. Just a good, old-fashioned, eminently listenable batch of tunes assembled in an order creative enough to hold one's interest but not disrupt one's concentration. Plus he used that Judee Sill song on his most recent mix, reminding me (in tandem with a friend of mine here playing it a few times in a row last Saturday) of how fantastic it is. Thanks to mckbrd for track 5 and to my friend Ian for tipping me off to the quality of that Lambchop song. Title from the Carpets--at least that's what I like to think they're singing (it could be "worth" or "word," I suppose).Feedback:
This looks like another cracker Rob.
Lots to like about this mix Rob.
Love that Pulp, R.E.M. and Joy Division, Looks very good.
Jesus, Rob. This looks fucking fantastic, my friend. Definitely a suitable mix for Mr. Krautfreak/gaucho. We should defintely talk trade again sometime here soon, if your up for one, that is.
I've felt some nothingness in my work recently, but a mix like this could help me through the most meaningless of tasks. Love that opening triplet & that Judee Sill track always makes a mix better. Is that new Modey Lemon?
10-16 is a sweet stretch. and I love the opener.
fucking adore that carpets song, and pretty much everything else of course. the flow looks unimpeachable -- i cannot wait to hear this. many thanks, rob.
this looks interesting Rob!! btw: glad to see you finally received the discs!!
yes, this is how it feels, nice work man
I'm sure he'll love this - and that Lambchop song really is great. You kick off with one of my favourite tracks, which segues into another of my favourites...hell, I wouldn't mind this either! ;)
Looks like a winner. Track 7 rules!
Lots of great picks here. Particularly 1,4,12,16-19.
Great opener, track 7 is also terrific as is 19 & 21.
Kick ass.
Eh, hem...what I mean, splendid mix you've compiled.

Very cool. Love the Talking Heads through Steve Miller and Elvis through Hnsker Dn stretches and, of course, that great Judee Sill track.
