    A shout out to Mr. MidFi
    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!

    Next to You The Police
    I'm a Wheel Wilco
    Ever Fallen in Love Buzzcocks

    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 :)

    Mr MidFi
    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!
