You wrote, "An excellent collection as you would expect. I would have added a blues diva or two, plus Joni and Bjork, but that is just me. Nice watercolor too. As Greg House quoted the philospher Jagger, "You can't always get what you want."

If space would have permitted, I might not have gone with Bjork, but I would include her song "Play Dead" for you. Part two would include Nina, The Mermaids, Marcia Griffiths, Billie, Cesaria Evora, Helene Smith, Gladys and others that make a wholly different blissed out compilation. You up for a trade?

interesting. i'll have to check that out. i've always been in love with smokey robinson - pretty much since he came on sesame street and did "U really got a hold on me" with the giant blue "U." it's nerdy that i remember. also, your mix for osborne should win. it's very sweet, and the best thus far.

Oh, and just to affirm the mix's positive effect on me, I had never heard tracks 1, 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 15 until this mix's creation, so now I have even more music to obsess about. Thank you.

why, thank you :) and which song is your favorite, if you don't mind me asking?

Happy early Valentine's Day!

let me get it together and then I will send you a link

oh and I missed the contest by five minutes..

It is on twice
thats was a mistake, but I am sure you realise that.
And I thought I checked it carefully...

Thank you kind sir.

have you heard the new Residents album "tweedles"?

Yeah, I know all about the Big Freeze of '07 as I work for a fruit gifting company and we get almost all of our citrus from that area this time of year. Our fruit buyer has had a hell of a time finding stuff that hasn't been affected. Although that's nowhere near the strife that your region is under, but having grown up closely tied to agriculture through numerous aspects, I completely understand.

Its coming, I am struggling to be inspired.
but it will be up soon

Thanks for the message. You're safe, i'm pretty sure Hugh grant is the only grant i hate.

Are you serious?
What?

i could listen to that! :)

I saw a piece of where he plays john drake on the dvd extras. He was in Portmeirion in that part for the first time. (that's why it's on the dvd, eh)
I saw some pictures of the members of the fanclub playing chess like they did in the series. Man, that looked so cool.

I have the Prisoner on dvd at home. Stole it from my dad, who watched it on french television when he was a kid. I'm totally saving up to go to Portmeirion this year. (most important wish of 2007) So, was it totally mind-blowing? (say yes!)
Be seeing you, No. 20.

Do you happen to have any Flying Lizards ((other than "Money (That's What I Want)?)) I'm really hoping to find "Dizzie Ms. Lizzie" but I'll settle for whatever I can find. I watched Hiding Out, which features this song and I absolutely love it.

I'm reading Simon Reynold's Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 78-84 and I'm learning about a lot of new/old bands.

Oh I did get a pretty decent Chemikal Underground DVD with a pile of Arab Strap and Mogwai videos

You made it to level 20!!!

I was the worst; the only thing I listen to when I was home was a band called Wolf something or other; one of my friends was loving them. Sounded like Ozzy Black Sabbath; and to be honest if I wanted to listen to that, I would listen to Ozzy Black Sabbath

I did pick up some DVDs though! (TV shows; not music)
