Comment:
A Tribute one of my favorite movies (if only for the dialogue pertaining to music, record collecting, the art of making a mix tape, etc.)I culled these tracks from the Deleted Scenes found on the High Fidelity DVD. The Tracks marked "+" are noted a being Rob Gordon's Top 5 Records (Singles) of all Time. Note Mr. Gordon names 14 seperate tracks by name and never really finalizes a Top 5 List. The "-" Tracks are also contenders for the Top 5 list, but no actual song is listed for these artists. I selected some not-so-obvious selections because...well, I felt like it.
Lastly the "*" tracks are from records noted or viewed during the Record Purchase Scene. And, Windowlicker "^" is the album purchased by Vince and Justin during yet another deleted scene.
So, there you go, my obsessive behaviour has been thoroughly evidenced. Hope you enjoy!

Feedback:
The mix is great whatever the reason.
I agree with Sally.
Haven't seen that movie (the thought of John Cusack talking about Skip Spence makes me gag), but this mix is incredibly good!
Impressive obsessiveness and a great mix!
Great mix though Nick Hornby makes me wretch for letting his English Novel fall into the hands of Hollywood. He should have stuck firm and made sure it was made here. Thank God Fever Pitch wasn't turned into an American Football movie!! Again a good lookin' mix.
great idea & great mix ! I'd love to hear this...
Really great mix, man. Can't go wrong with that Blue Cheer track and there's tons of other great stuff on here, as well.
Great idea for a mix, resulting in a great mix.
Super cool idea, and a great mix to boot!
Great movie, great mix. I gotta get my hands on the DVD, since the video's startin' to wear out.
Great mix!
Great book, great mix, decent movie (I guess, although I was only let down because I'd read the mix previously). I'm not sure why John Cusack talking about Skip Spence makes Orchid gag, though, as Mr. Cusack is known for having fine taste in music...
Wonderful mix. Cool movie too.
excellent picks, top to bottom.
High Fidelity, whether in book or movie form, always inspires cool mixes. As for the Top 5 list, I'll forgive him. Could you decide on a Top 5 list? I'm still uncertain about mine.
heck yeah... i love me some hi fidelity
Ah! Blessed obsessivism :)Well worth the effort!
It's the Skip Spence, Rob!
Solid rock, Rock Solid
I never really liked High Fidelity (the book or the movie)... is that, like, blasphemous?! Anyway, great mix you got here.
Great idea for a mix, and excellent use of special characters, by the way. I'll have to get the DVD,as I'm a sucker for DVDs that contain deleted scenes.
Btw, I meant to write "because I'd read the *book* prior to seeing the movie, not "mix"). Oops...
Great mix - will the next one be inspired by Songbook?
