    Obviously, I'm bored. That's one heck of a cute pup Finchy.

    It's sad that the most exciting thing posted on this board in days is a video of a dog on a bike trailer.

    Over and out!

    OKAY, so which file is making this "BIG DRUM, BIG DRUM" ruckus?

    Thanks for the CD, M.
    Comp is excellent and Triangulo is just what I needed tonight.

    P,

    Lol, good point. I particularly enjoyed the Getcha Back track, #7 I believe. Got a good chuckle and figured that who ever did that one really out to go through the whole Robert Cray catalog and funk-ify some more bitter blues-n-wordplay.

    Was digging the Mr. CEO cut, but my better half shut off the tunes 'cause' she couldn't stand it. Thought the whole comp was running strong up 'till then, before settling into a more mellow and kinda refreshing country groove.

    Could've done without the last two techno tracks. but they didn't maim. No harm, no foul.

    I rank the whole thing very highly in my 2+ years of leeching RR comps. The bonus disks were much appreciated, I Gotta Dance especially.

    I have no idea who any of the tracks were. Can't remember which track I kept thinking sounded like Kim Deal or Tanya Donelly, but I assumed i was way off track and didn't ponder more.

    Kewl. Somebody had some fun.

    The "I'm Gonna Getcha Back" track was from the new Eli "The Paperboy" Reed & the True Loves disc that I've flogged a few times 'round these parts. Kinda ginger for the musical palette.

    I had fun making this one and you're right bout there being a pretty diverse and sometimes annoying cacaphony of sonic sprawl. Lot's o' different stuff moving away from the strictly dissonant jingle and alt of alt-country toward somethings different.
    I've fallen into the habit of putting any "techno" or synth-based stuff at the end just for folks with sensibilities like your own.

    Everyone got a bonus---most different and based on my sometimes limited perception of their tastes---so it should be interesting to read the results. Hopefully peeps found something likeable, or at least something about which they can flame up a storm.

    We haven't heard much from Swishy lately...no doubt he put on his best polyester eveningwear and is Schottisching the night away to the rhythm of the polka disc I sent his grumpyass.

    Good work bobsticks. Obscurity Vol.1 spins right now. My sensibilities are similar to noddinoffs' concerning the synth stuff at the end. I spotted the Paperboy Reed track (good album that), and a couple of tracks sound very familiar. Enlighten me. Track 3 is right up my Strasse.
    Also thanks for the bonus discs. Who has been a busy boy then?
    Thanks.

    Yeah, that's actually a B-Side from The Klaxons. Not at all the usual fare from them...so it made the cut.

    I' almost afraid to ask but are folks having problems reading the playlists?

    You'd think that J. Tweedy might have a little pull with the ol' mail carriers. Not so, I guess.

    Got the package yesterday 'sticks. I'll be on vacation next week, so I'll load the tunes onto my iPod and try to give them a listen while chillin' on the beach (or hiding from the rain) and will report back upon my return.

    Thanks for your generousity!

    Ja welcome...and have fun on vacation. You shoulda mentioned the tropical location, I just gotta a collection of steel drum cuts that woulda been the cat's screech. Hopefully you'll be lucky enough to get the real thing.

    Well, as much as I like to pretend, I'm not sure that you could call central Ontario tropical...unless you count some of the tropical-like storms that we've experienced this summer. We've rented a cottage for the week. Not that the steel drums wouldn't have helped to feed my illusions.
