I made this mix for the August 2009 FTOTZ mixtape exchange. I wanted to do a cover chain straight through, but, for the sake of sounding decent, I had to cut some songs, thus cutting the chain into a short chain, a longer chain, and an unrelated three song closing sequence. It became frustrating to me at one point and I felt like a surgeon on Michael Jackson's fifteenth nose job trying to make some semblance of continuity out of butchered materials.

Not as great as Jimi Hendrix's version, of course, but an interesting take by the Jam man himself.
