Benjamin. I really really love that you put the Butthole Surfers on here. I also had a grande smile on my face when I heard "Hey you, don't vatch dat, vatch dis!" with the heavy heavy monster sounds of Madness. Also dug the My Morning Jacket. Was intrigued by the Ray La M. cover of Crazy. The jury is still out. I'll comment more after more listening. Bueno.
Rice:
I heartily apologize for not commenting on this mix sooner. This is a hearty mix...and I doff my hat to you for having the cajones to put the Alan Parson Project on your mix. I can't stop spinning the first 4 tracks. I really enjoy the Vanderslice and Unrest songs. Thanks for the intro to Unrest. I want to find out more.
Other highlights for me include the Butthole Surfers track--pure nostalgia. I also think "ancient Melodies.." is an overlooked BTS album, but it is one of my favorites. Guided by Voices: wonderous. The closing track is also excellent, and I am seeking more info on the creators.
I am very fond of this mix. Thank you for the gift.
I keep sitting down to write some comprehensive comments on the CD as a whole and I'm always daunted by this. I started at least five comments. Here's just a few thoughts.
There's definitely an arc in feeling for me with this. I dug that.
Some of my favorite songs: She's Losing It and The Great Escape. Always been a Belle and Sebastian fan. Great song. Wasn't familiar with it. We are Scientists give me a real nostalgic feeling for the year I was listening to them non stop. Thanks for that.
I was out of town for a time so I just had a listen. There was such a array of sounds, and that is to be lauded. I really liked: MMJ (obviously), John Vanderslice (who apparently I stole the CD name from, that is 2 over laps for us), Belle & Sebastian, Built to Spill, and Guided by Voices.
well played sir.
Yeah, I forgot the Vanderslice track. Great pick. Spun this a bunch of times.
thanks for the comments everyone. they are affirmation. warning: abbreviated band names ahead. i visited a building in harpers ferry, wv where e.a. poe's ghost resides. fortunato's ghost haunts me. some of these artists have ties to the dc area. unrest is pre-flin flon mark robinson who operates a record label with TLA and VS. STT were on dischord. i saw BTS in slc. not a great performance, but still a great show. it was a goal of mine to see them when i moved to IF. that was 8 yrs ago. finally! again, thanks for listening and commenting. ?s are welcome.
