Comment:

For once my decision to use more than one song by the same artist was for artistic purposes; that is, this mix is meant to be evocative of times and places long gone, and I deliberately filled it with multiple (yet specifically chosen) cuts by Johnny Cash, The Pogues, The Clash, Flogging Molly, and others to emphasize this gently melancholy, roots-y spirit, while also capturing an overwhelming emotional rumination on life itself...yeah, I really suck at describing my intentions (I'm inarticulate and pretentious, I know), but I had a perfect vision in my head, and it came out almost exactly the way I was hoping it would
