Yesterday, out of the blue, I received a package from Mr. MF and I'm on my third spin already :) . Good song selection, of course, but what sets this comp apart is the excellent flow. Nice job!

Sooner or Later
Next to You The Police
I'm a Wheel Wilco
Ever Fallen in Love Buzzcocks
Aftermath REM
Prove My Love Violent Femmes
Another Travelin' Song Bright Eyes
Save It for Later English Beat
Love and Peace or Else U2
Nowhere Again The Secret Machines
Set the Twilight Reeling Lou Reed
TROUBLE Guadalcanal Diary
Clouds Jayhawks
Not Even Stevie Nicks . . . Calexico
Girls Death In Vegas
Jockey Full of Bourbon Los Lobos
Wolves, Lower REM
Late Greats Wilco
Smoothie Song (I don't know who does this - not on the tracklist but the song title shows up via CD-Text)

With great compilations like this one floating around you just can't quit this place, no matter how dead it gets :cool:

Thanks, man. I threw that one together as a sort of old-meets-new answer to your Guerillas In the Mix disc, which is still getting serious rotation BTW. Glad you enjoyed it. Of course, anyone else who wants one...feel free to PM me.

The bonus track is by Nickel Creek, and it appears on WXRT's Live from the Archives vol. 7. I'm not really a bluegrass guy, but that song was kinda cool.

Yeah, I 'fixed' Guerrillas. Obviously I ditched the bad rip on the Sparklehorse song and got a good one this time (disc must have been a little grimey or something), but the real improvement was replacing "Lover's Rock" with "Hateful" and putting it behind "Neighborhood #2". Those two songs sound like they were meant to be played together. Also tightened up some of the crossfades. Wish I had some patience and mailed this version out :(

Anyway, Sooner or Later is just great. I think I gotta make another one of these something-old-something-new comps. Got a CD-R of the new Beck and the new Spoon album comes out this Tuesday and . . . . ;)

Actually, I only sent out four copies 'cause that's how many mailers I had on hand. No one else ever asked for a copy 'til now. I could also send you a copy of MidFi's Sooner or Later (sans artwork) while I'm at it. I changed my comp a little so I'll post the final tracklist here in the off-chance that anyone else would like a copy. BTW, it gets a little heavy-ish towards the end but somehow I suspect that's not a problem for you :)

Thanks, Slosh. I owe you the cost of postage and a CD-R!

Finchy, what can I say? I only sent one copy out, and that was recompense for Slosh's unsolicited Guerilla thingy. All I can say is...enjoy!
