Comment:

The first volume of my '70s series, which is designed as a four-part companion piece to my four-part '60s series posted in the summer of '04. Tracks were picked for each disc based upon what mood I was in on the day that the mix was made... in other words, some of my absolute favorite '70s artists may not show up until disc 4. Title from the pen of Verlaine--Tom Verlaine, that is.

I'm having kind of a burning airlines kind of day myself. Great strategy for a mix, doing a song a day.

Your '70s series is wonderful because it juxtaposes so many bands that probably wouldn't be found together otherwise. Nice work.

Nice selections. The Black Sabbath track seems inspired.

Varied and unpredictable. And, of course, I could listen to "Burning Airlines" every day of my life and never tire of it.

Now THIS is the '70s. And crap like "Chevy Van" is nowhere in sight. :-)
