Blind revenge on a blameless victim
Comment:
For the hell of it. And sort of for Jen, I guess, since I thought of her when selecting a few of these tracks (she asked me nicely for a mix that would feature some stuff that I've heard recently that she'd like; she's dubbing me some stuff in return). Thanks to Vinz Clortho for the Human League song and to Jana for the ABSOLUTELY FUCKING STUPENDOUS Essra Mohawk album... I can't believe I hadn't come across her first album, Primordial Lovers, before... and yes, I see the irony in my inclusion of "Losing My Edge" on this mix. ;-) Sometimes it's fun to fuck with others' perception of you. Also, I wanted to mention that, while I'm not a fan of hers by any stretch of the imagination, several tracks on the new Fiona Apple album (at least the unreleased version of it, since I haven't heard the released version) are surprisingly good. And I also just heard the latest Beck album for the first time; again, he's not a favorite of mine (although I like even his worst stuff better than just about everything by Fiona Apple), but there are a few great songs on it. Title from the Human League.Feedback:
Looks Great, Rob. There are alot of good songs on offer here!
Out and out fun!
lol good spacemen track :-)
Looks great. Who's Essra Mohawk? Sounds intriguing.
"...I was there!"
got to see LCD Soundsytem open up for the Raptures waaay back before anyone knew them.
"oh, yes! I was there!"

Ah, I love that opening track!
Really excellent, Rob. Some wonderful picks, including Pulp and The La's. I love that Young Marble Giants track. And I think I'll have to check out that album since it comes with such a huge recommendation! :)
This is amazing. That Joe Tex song couldn't be a better pick.
nice of course
I like this one a lot! Esp. the LCD - The Kinks stretch.

Fantastic Rob.
Fifteen onwards is terrific. Awesome job.
Excellent. I especially like the Human League. And I'm glad to see Genesis on here.... I really like them in theory, I just can't enjoy them in practice, despite numerous attempts to do so, including under the influence of every drug known to mankind and even while pretending Phil Collins is holding a gun to my head threatening to kiss me while his nasty sidekick Peter Gabriel coos in my ear.
Rewind Selecta!
Grat Rob, especially 13-15.
Great collection and nice to see the Essra Mohawk opener. She came out of Philly in the 60s and played around locally becoming popular in the early 70s. Primordial Lovers from 1970 is actually her second album. She recorded an earlier album on Frank Zappa's Bizarre label in 1967. She briefly joined the Mothers of Invention and performed as Uncle Meat. Her 1975 album is a classic. She is still releasing CDs and touring.
Looks nice.
Looks interesting despite some unexpected inclusions. I too have tried to appreciate Genesis, but apparently I wasn't trying hard enough.
Looks good, especially the La's and Spacemen 3
Wot I know I like...tr. 2 is one of my favourite tracks of all time...hope Jen likes it!
Plenty of musical gems you've assembled on one a CDR. I used a line from a Human League song as well in a mix title. Brilliant minds think alike ;)
looks neat-o.
That's the only Human League track I've ever owned & just about the only Genesis track I like. love the sequence 14 - 20.
Looks like a really great one, Rob. Sorry I missed it.
Spacemen, LCD Soundsystem, Beck, Six Organs of admittance, The Kinks, Pulp, Galaxie 500. All great Bands and looks nice there, but i dont know other stuff (heared them)
heard about Fiona Apple just recently - she is fit! interesting positioning next to the cramps.
I am glad you like Essra Mohawk, but then everyone should. This is a great mix. Must pull out Genesis.
Really fuckin' cool. Dig The Human League, LCD Soundsystem, Mountain Goats & Young Marble Giants picks especially.
