I was only just saying to, to, well, to you actually, that when shunn789 decides upon a theme; that theme is well and truly nailed. This will become the definitive Apples & Oranges themed mix. The fact that it includes "ERYKAH BADU" and "OSCAR PETERSON" pretty much seals it. I am filled with disappointment by the non-appearance of cover art for this mix. Boo-hoo etc.

This is of course a reference to your previous XTC mix? Which is excellent by the way.

Okay, cover art's fixed! I had tried repeatedly, with no success, to upload the art. Finally I realized that the character "&" in the middle of the filename is what was messing it up. Fixed now!Funny thing, sammyg, is that I did this mix a couple of days before the XTC mix. I didn't even consciously make the "Oranges & Lemons" connection until I was making the XTC cover art. (The title of *that* mix was a not-so-subtle nod to Sarah McLachlan, who did a great cover of "Dear God."Nomates, I swear to Dear God, this mix is exactly as it rolled off shuffle play. And it ended up totaling exactly 1:19:59 in length!

Very nice. Ditto on Sean's comment, although I'd go with the Television Personalities' cover of the Floyd song.
