Part nineteen of an array of CD mixes I made for my wife over a long number of years! Read more about it here!
Ah, when I decided to opt for Roman numeral naming.
Yet another cover I do not love. It’s too severe and there’s far too much and too little spacing with the track list.
No idea where I got the photo from, but I imagine it was from drunksaling. If you are not familiar with the term? You get tipsy in the morning and head out to garage sales and buy stupid shit. We’re too old for that now, but if you’re young enough? I highly suggest it. It’s a ton of fun. Just only get tipsy, though.
Highlights! NOUVELLE VAGUE & JULIE DELPY! You may be familiar with Delpy from the Linklater SUNSET trilogy, but she imbues this song with significance. (Also, not the only French New Wave-inspired track here!) BOY 8-BIT hits hard! CLUE’s Approach the Throne is an amazing bop. I know everyone only knows ELASTIC through their late 90s theme ‘Connection’ but? Go through the entirety of their limited collection. Pure post-punk perfection.
