And the next swap probably won't be until mid-December.

Here's the cover and liner notes for mine...

BUNNY HIFI FAVORITES

01-BOOKER T and the MGs / Hang 'Em High (Soul Limbo 1968) - My favorite cover of any of the spaghetti western themes.

02-STEVE DAWSON / Sweet Is the Anchor (Sweet Is the Anchor 2005) - From the solo debut by Dolly Varden's main man.

03-PINBACK / Non Photo Blue (Summer In Abaddon 2004) - One of my favorite songs of last year. The opening lyric could be appropriate for at least one beloved website: “She's posting all the time, but the boards are down.”

04-MOON MULLICAN / Seven Nights to Rock (1956 single) - Texas country and honky-tonk pioneer (and uncredited co-songwriter of Hank Williams’ “Jambalaya”) also cut some great early rock discs.

05-999 / Inside Out (the Biggest Prize in Sport 1980) - Worth it for the guitar line alone.

06-ROGUE WAVE / Bird on a Wire (Descended Like Vultures 2005) - Dreamy pop from Oakland.

07-the SONICS / Strychnine (Here are the Sonics 1965) - The Sonics made at least four or five of the most essential garage songs ever, and 40 years later they still sound dangerous.

08-the dBs / Never Say When (the Sound of Music 1987) - From their 4th and final album.

09-YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND / Think For Yourself (This Bird Has Flown 40th Anniversary Tribute to Rubber Soul 2005) - A band I never heard of until picking up this all covers version of Rubber Soul. A faithful arrangement but with some twang.

10-JOHNNY CASH / Thunderball (1960s prev unreleased) Johnny submitted this song for the Bond film but was rejected in favor of the Tom Jones title song.

11-HER SPACE HOLIDAY / The Weight of the World (the Past Presents the Future 2005) - Mid tempo electro pop dance number.

12-DAVID BOWIE / Up The Hill Backwards (Scary Monsters 1980) - One of my favorite non-hits from the Bowie catalog.

13-the DEL ROYALS / Always Naggin' (Grumblin' Fussin' Nag Nag) (single 1960) - New Orleans vocal group and a song produced by Allen Toussaint.

14-CORALIE CLEMENT / Ca Valait La Peine (Salle des pas Perdus 2002) - Modern French pop singer that is strongly rooted in the 60’s French pop scene.

15-XTC / Fly On The Wall (English Settlement 1982) - An often neglected song in the catalog of my all time favorite band.

16-EDITORS / Munich (the Back Room 2005) - Birmingham band that merges Joy Division, Echo & the Bunnymen, and Interpol. Yet another band d’jour in the UK, but I think they’re better than most of the bands of the moment.

17-BEE GEES / Never Say Never Again (Odessa 1969) - If you only know the Saturday Night Fever era BeeGees you’ve missed out on about 10 albums of great Beatles inspired pop music. This is from their (sort-of) concept album Odessa.

18-PERET and ESTOPA / Lo Mato (King of Rumba 2000) - From an excellent collection of collaborations from Spain’s rumba rock legend with newer musicians. Fun. Fun. Fun.

19-CONSTANTINES / Good Nurse (Tournament of Hearts 2005) - Canada’s Constantines sound like a cross between a less angsty Jawbox and a toned down Jawbox.

20-NEAL HEFTI / the Mafista (Batman 1966) Fuzzy guitar instrumental from the TV soundtrack.

21-the FLESHTONES / New Scene (Hexbreaker! 1983) - It’s a dance party in under three minutes. From the Fleshtones’ perfect garage/pop album Hexbreaker! I’ve worn out two copies of the vinyl and for some reason this album is currently out-of-print, so this is from a vinyl transfer a friend did.

22-LEE HARVEY OSWALD BAND / Jesus Never Lived On Mars (A Taste of Prison 1994) - Glam rock times ten. Buckle up, it’s going to be a wild ride.

23-FRANK ALAMO / Heureux Tous Les Deux (Happy Together) (EP 1967) - French pop take on the Turtles’ classic.

24-CALVIN BOZE / Looped (single 1952) - Calvin has at least a few songs about drinking a few too many, but this one is swings the most. Cheers.

Looking forward to hearing the mixes this round!

Thanks again dodgy for setting this whole sh'bang up and keeping it running.

Oh, Slack, the cover art is magnifico!! (and hey, the music looks great, too!)

I'm keeping the playlist a sekrit, but here's the front cover, and here's the back. Flame fractals by moi...enjoy!

Mine is make your own cover, make your own track order. Suck it, haters!

Slacks, your song list has erased any notion I might have had of not getting around to making a mix. Motivation, indeed.

pretty!

i wanna play a part
i wanna be a member
i wanna dance the light fantastic

Aw crap.

amber? dodgy? mudpuppie? did someone catch my YSI links so i could join the fun?
my zipper is stuck and i may have to do the big log out to clean everything up.

eth, email me the links so i can get them all, and tell me the order...i can't find them wading thru all yr comments...

24 songs?! I had trouble fitting 15 in under 74.

I'm resonably certain that my mix went where it was supposed to. Those of you who don't want to be surprised, email me for a tracklist.

24 songs?! I had trouble fitting 15 in under 74.

I grew up with a alove of punk rock and 60's pop songs - both of what tend to be under three minutes. I still tend to favor short songs that get in, get the job done, and get out.

I had a couple of extra things on there, but it was 79.5 minutes, and I didn't want to exclude whoever still uses 74 minute CDs instead of 80 minute ones, so I took them off (I just couldn't bear to dump the 13 minute Six Organs of Admittance track).
