I kinda made this mix for me, but I'm feeling like you may dig it, too. As usual, iPod shuffle reminds me of songs I had forgotten about, as well as hitting on songs I hadn't heard before, and this mix is a combo of both those ideas, plus a few that have been in very heavy rotation the last week or so.
You will be familiar with some, while others, I hope, will hit you like they hit me, like the very bizarre, yet completely infectious opening track by Spy Mob, or the big, happy sound of Sweden's Beagle.

I'm assuming that "Never My Love" is a cover of the Association song?
Kismet, apparently; I saw Jill Sobule (opening for Fountains of Wayne) do it last night. She's got a version of it as a duet with John Doe coming out, or so she said.
In any case, any mix with Del Amitri's "Not Where It's At" is okay by me.
Yes it is, and it's a good one. How was FOW?
of course you draw me right in with the Bitterblue.
another great collection Sal!!
thanks
Looks great! Thankyew!
And for you, Sal, Cee-lo doing "Fuck You" on Jools Holland.
Classic.
FOW were terrific. Previewed a bunch of songs from the new album, which were KILLER.
Plus Jill Sobule opened. Although she did not, as I had hoped, premier a new song about Katy Perry being eaten by wolves, she did sing a snippet of one of her own songs thusly.
"I kissed a girl....FIRST!"
oo, "Mr. Dyingly Sad" -- I LOVE that song and had forgotten about it. What a lost classic.
if you're a Casuals fan, let me recommend Chandler Travis's web site (chandlertravis.com). He's the loopy genius behind that group and behind Travis, Shook and the Club Wow, a great Boston-based outfit in the 70s.
Sal, you've outdone yourself with this mix. Great stuff...especially the Hale & The Hushabyes cover. This site never ceases to amaze me.
Thanks Deep Karma. That felt good.
perfect combination of old faves and fresh stuff. love it!
Anything that includes The Toms is cool with me.
Thanks
