haha. sensibility is something i've certainly never aspired to. It's much more fun this way.

I think I'm sendspacing the mix though if your interested. I'm just trying to work it out

Ok, I won't seek out Cat Empire, but please don't ever think that I am in any way sensible! Would I still be making mixtapes at the age of 103 if I was sensible? Would I have willingly moved from London, the city I love for Porterville, CA, a tiny sweat soaked red neck town that does not even have a bookshop if I was sensible? I rest my case. One thing though, I am just curious about music I don't know. I have found most of the best stuff that way, and of course a whole pile of shite as well!

oh god, don't track down the cat empire just because they were used in mix with other artists you like. You won't like them.

I probably shouldn't like them, but they're just so much fun and if you sift through the absolute shit on their CDs you get these little gems.
Most sensible people don't like them, so please don't go out of your way to listen to them because of me. That would be very embarrassing

No no, I want to hear bands I haven't heard of in a mix of stuff I absolutely love. Many of my favorite artists such as John Martyn and Richard Thompson are pretty obscure and unknown, even in the UK where they come from.

It's definatley my fault using obscure australian bands in a contest mix.

You have no idea how cool she was. One of a kind.

Thanks man! You're contest entry is rockin

That makes me very happy!

When I think of Australian music, first name in my head has to be Nick Cave, but thats just me!

well I got the spelling heaps wrong. It's Khe Sanh.

It's probably more aussie to some then the Men At Work song, I come from the land downunder.

If you can find the correct spelling, listen to Kay Sahn. (It's a city in Vietnam if that helps.... i think it's in Vietnam anyway)

P.S. Secretly I love that song. It does go off in a pub full of drunks.

Never heard of Cold Chisel. I will find something by them online just so I have an idea.

Thankyou!

Ever heard of Cold Chisel? Jimmy Barnes was the singer. They were from the 80s, they're Australian, they made a whole bunch of shit music. Then good ol' Jimmy decided he'd go solo.

Australians LOVE cold chisel. Kay Sahn is their most famous tune and is played EVERYWHERE you go on a friday or saturday night.

P.S. I don't know how to spell Kay Sahn. It's a city but I'm bad at spelling foreign words and places

thanks man!

My last mix is actually sendspacing as I write this. I will have the link in a few minutes

hey can you let me know when you send space your last mix?

i most definately agree.

a bowie best of would be predominantly early work for me.

Yeah, Bowie has reinvented himself so many times, explored so many different areas, that a mixtape of just him could be just as varied as one featuring all different acts. I actually like making alternative mixtapes of individual artists, seeing how much my compilation differs from the official greatest hits compilations. Any best of Bowie mixtape I compiled would start with a very early song, 'In the heat Of The Morning', which I love.

woah that's a pretty big compliment. i really don't think i deserve it.

i also wanted to put 'as the world falls down' from the labyrinth soundtrack on there, but alas, i had already used bowie.
there should be an exception for bowie, don't you think?

I am thinking that is possibly the best realized mixtape I have seen here, and I have seen some great ones. You are welcome
