The half-week-long "Burning Wood First Birthday Celebration" continues with two big mixes to close out the week. Or, if you prefer, start the holiday weekend. Play it the way you like.
I can't say I spent too much time working these mixes out. I was just happy to have some music back in the ol' HD. After a few playbacks, I think I'm quite happy with the turnout. As expected, the music speaks for itself. There may even be a theme here.
Some quick thoughts:
"Tapioca Tundra"-my fave Monkees tune.
"Minor Byrd"- not only my fave You Am I song, but one of the few I like at all. I don't get You Am I. I've heard so many raves--"THE WHO! THE JAM! THE...WHATEVER!" I don't hear it.
"I'm Looking Through You"- How cool are The Posies? They cover the Beatles alternate "Anthology 2" version of this "Rubber Soul" track.
"House On The Hill"- Did you know Ray Davies produced The Turtles?
"Harvest"- Rufus Wainwright is a "love'em or hate'em" guy. I love'em and I love this duet with Chris Stills. If you get out your time machine, this Neil cover could easily be Loudon & Stephen.
"Never Going Back"- I want to thank Steve over at Power Pop for reminding how wonderful this song is. You can thank him yourself HERE.
"Your Daddy Don't Know"- Toronto cover anyone?
"Bully"--I have no idea. Found this years ago and have loved it ever since.

For one who didn't spend much time working this mix out, you produced another gem here Sal, always do. Wasn't Your Daddy Don't Know done by the Canadian group Toronto?
You're absolutely right, FD13! There was a song by Trooper called "Cold Cold Toronto," and for whatever reason, I confuse the two.
It's understanding, you've been stressed out these past days. You'll be fine.
May be your best mix. Pop heaven. Thanks
I have the Toronto original, if you'd like it.
Just saying...
Already gave it to me, Steve. Thx.
great mix, thanks.
