You know what that means, don't you? The much anticipated - almost yearly - next installment of Davey's Half Gone series. The 2001 edition was outstanding. Almost lengendary. Great flow and a nice, eclectic collection of tunes representing some outstanding albums. Still probably the comp I'm most proud of. The 2002 followup had some stellar songs but lacked a little something from the first one, that certain je ne sais quoi as the French so beautifully express it. I still expect to hear Enon's "Native Numb" after the opening track on the Notwist's Neon Golden every time I listen to it, but that's one of the liabilities of comping your favorite albums

I skipped it last year because I didn't have enough new music and just wasn't inspired (not to mention I was in the middle of moving). This year isn't that much different since I'm getting ready to move again and haven't bought that many albums, but thanks to some contributions from Jim Clark and tentoze that account for at least 25% of the music on this comp, I went ahead and put it togther and am glad I did because I've been enjoying it myself. It's always kind of fun to work within the constraints of a limited number of CDs when putting a comp together because it can get intimidating if you're trying to pick stuff from your whole collection without any solid boundaries. So, without any further obfuscations other than to say I've only got 5 copies available now........
