Yay! I'm glad it was liked. (Also, thank you for liking my weird cover art, Starlight!)

Mine came yesterday, along with a shitload of other stuff I had recently purchased (The Go! Team, Tullycraft, Amusement Parks on Fire, Mclusky, Yesterday's New Quintet).

It was a musical-icious day.  Too bad about the inky fingerprint on the mix that made it skip, just a little.  I'm sure it'll clean off, I just haven't done it yet.

Anyway, the point of this all is:  thanks, V!

No problem. Sorry about the fingerprint; it was a busy day at the CD-Burn-o-mat.

V, you are godly.
The Shatner alone.....

The only song I didn't really care for was hotel, but apart from that it was golden.

Seriously, wasn't the Shatner track a thing? I got Has Been on a lark, figuring it'd be hipster-iron-o-tastic, and then "What Have You Done" cued up and I just lost it. It's really the anchor of the mixtape -- or, at least, the reason I chose to make a mixtape about a novel about an emotionally-retarded Japanese man dealing with his girlfriend's suicide.

(No, not Norwegian Wood. The other one.)

"Hotel" is mostly thematic; there's better stuff by the band, but that fit the theme best.

Was able to give the mix a solid listen for the first time last night.  Very engaging, the whole was greater than the sum of it's parts*, and that is the mark of a great mixtape.  Excellent.  I'm with doc, the only song I didn't like was Hotel.

Well, I do too, or else I wouldn't have put it on. I can see how it wouldn't quite be to people's tastes, though, so I was attempting to explain why it was on the mix at all. Is all I'm saying.

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it. I'm glad that people derived enjoyment from this in general.

Is that Broken Social Scene's "Hotel?"
Not my favorite track on that record by any means, but it's OK.

Nope; it's by one of my weird Interweb-band favorites, Raised By Wolves. No BSS, although "Anthem for a 17-Year-Old Girl" could have worked.

Hmm.  It sounds like They Might Be Giants after they discovered my uncle's really shitty effects processor and found the INCUBUS setting.

And I don't mean this in a bad way.

Yes, my uncle really does have one. I wasn't just being clever. It's actually not that shitty. It's kinda fun to fuck around with.

I hope that's not BSS.  If it is, they might just have to lose one of their S's.

Oh ok.  The case is in the car so I couldn't check.  Although Anthem for a 17 year old Girl would have been awesome, Anthem by Rush would have been awsomer.
