Comment:

As with the first installment, this collection spawned from the numerous times I said to myself "Geez, I really need to put this band in a mix", while compiling other theme/genre specific mixes.

And, as quizzes are all the rave. Which of the albums represented here was added to my collection for $3.48 during a VERY recent jaunt to a chain music store (Tower Records)?They had it in an import clearance bin.

Needless to say, I was quite proud of the purchase AND abolutely estatic in finding it so underpriced.

First to get it wins a free copy (if they want it...that is)

Super-cool all around, but particularly nice to see the Raincoats and the Adverts on a mix, especially when they're back-to-back.

Quite nice, and my guess is it must've been the Martin Newell. ;)

Very nice; love that Wire cut. I'd guess that you saw Singles Going Steady in the discount bin.

most excellent - could be The Jam that you found - they are often dirt cheap on import (and not very fashionable at the moment)

Good guesses...but, the prize is still for the taking...

Hint, this is album is a followup to their 1980 debut...which I found in the very same import discount bin. That purchase cost me $11.00, but was still a steal.

Really nice mix.
I can't believe you found two Rain Parade albums in the cutout bin.

Bingo.

Both The Sound's Jeopardy and From the Lion's Mouth were found in the Discount/Clearance Bin.

One copy to Dead Man.

As Tommy Dorsey & his Orchestra would say, "yes indeed!". This is too good to be true, comme d'habitude. For the quiz I would've guessed Dukes of Stratosphere, but they don't really belong in the bargain bin... more like the trash bin. ;)

Good looking stuff. I've been listening to some Television lately. Another mix-of-the-multiple-weeks for this one!

I don't agree with Orchid about the DoS, but I do agree with the others who have praised this mix. Love the Klopjaeger (I used to drink that all the time back in my old college days), Wire, Martin Newell and the Rain Parade.

Lovely - one of my favourite B&S tracks is on there, and love the Julian Cope, X, Adverts and Jam too. To name but a few. there are so many bands or songs which I hear and think how much I need to put them on a mix, so I know what you mean!

Fantastic mix - I love just about everything on here. Especially dig the Guadalcanal, Wire, and Dukes picks.
