I’d be lying to say I wasn’t excited. There is so much music I have not heard on this mix!
Look for a post in the next few days containing the actual songs!
Wow, great stuff kids, so much of which I have never heard before. Splotchy I love the Magnetic Fields! And Beth choosing a Nanci Griffith song, way to go girl. And Madam Zombie, Belle and Sebastian, quel suprise!
Excellent jobs all.
dr mvm, I’m really looking forward to hearing your stuff, too.
I have never heard of Rank and File, so looked them up on the All Music Guide. I was surprsed to see that Alejandro Escovedo was in the band. The description of their music was very intriguing. I’m can’t wait to hear it, the Kirsty MacColl (who I have seen people talk about, but have yet to hear), etc.
Quite an interesting selection from us four cool kids, huh? The mix will be awesome, if my mellow picks don’t slow it down too much.
Wow, what a list. I have not heard 18 of those tracks, and a good number of those 18 songs were by artists I haven’t even heard of. Very cool.
Y’all do nice work.
Wow that looks fantastic! There are so many artists and songs that I don’t know either, which I am really excited to hear and others that I know and love, which makes me all warm and fuzzy to see that other people love them too.
Tis a thing of beauty.
