Nevah saw Mentos, The Freshmaker, the movie, but those Batman movies sure leave a lot to answer for, dead gay cowboy's performance not withstanding. More importantly, is it me and my ghosty machines, or does the PE track become minimalist digital glitch @ 2:13? best BenT
Also Pere Ubu's track: Robert Keen Lamb Wheeler, b. 1957 in Cleveland, Ohio. Plays electronics - an EML-101 synthesizer and homemade Theremin. He has played in Pere Ubu since 1994.
Years ago Robert dropped in at Hideo's Discodrome and owner John Thompson steered him to the "30 Seconds over Tokyo" single that had come out that day. John said, "The record is $1.95 plus tax, but you can see a whole set and another band for only $1.50 at the Pirates Cove." Robert saw Peter Laughner's Friction and Pere Ubu play their first night at Pirates Cove Nov. 11, 1976. Changed his life.
Bought an EML-101 synth, started a band Savage Tractors that lasted 5 years, then played with Dr. Bloodmoney (after Tony Maimone left), and then joined Home & Garden (after Tony Maimone left). Home & Garden at the time was Scott Krauss, Jim Jones, Jeff Morrison (vocals).
Happily married to Linda since 1987, they have one delightful daughter, Kathleen Alexis.
Fun facts:
Robert attended K-11 with David's younger brother Alan, and lived a block away from the Thomas's in Cleveland Heights.
Robert has been President of the Edison Birthplace Association in Milan, Ohio, since early 1980s. A great-great-grand nephew of Thomas Alva Edison, he lives with his family on Thomas Edison's sister's farm in Milan, Ohio. They board horses, raise chickens and grow corn, hay and trees.
Robert worked for Digital Equipment Corporation (now Hewlett-Packard) for 18.696 years repairing computers, and was a System Manager for Digital Alphas and an IBM AS/400 at a local hospital for 7.5 years. He got outsourced and is currently unemployed.
Robert and Michele Temple joined Home & Garden the same night.
Tony Maimone introduced Robert to Linda, who also plays keyboards.
A Mac Evangelist since W95 (Thanx to John Thompson and David Thomas), "My Mac can do everything your windows can, except get viruses."
Robert got a "B" on his handmade theremin in electronic school because he couldn't play America the Beautiful. "It's not a musical instrument," said the teacher. It took months to learn how to tune and work it, considering he'd never seen one before.
Yeah, if you (frickin) read my comment that runs below the Miracler info alongside the cover art here, you'll see the note about Track 16. If you were an early downloader (early Monday morning), you probably got the bad one, but the whole mix was re-uploaded at 11am Monday, so the song should be good now, assuming Pando is successfully serving up the new mix.
Believe it or not (you soon will), the whole Track 16 mess sprang up from a slightly messed-up disk quality prob with the original mix provided. So, being a fully committed Manager and all, I bought the dang song on iTunes (and a couple other damaged tunes as well) with 3MPMP Petty Cash Jar funds. Then, get this: the iTunes version turned out to be damaged, and in fact, way more so than the one on the Miracler's mix (that krazee skip that you're experiencing is all iTunes).
After this occurrence, The Management was moved to move on to billable day-job work, lest the song continue to eat up both more money and time. Besides, that song's kinda lame anyway... (Oh NO she didn't.)
And that's The Story of the Great Songs of the South Track 16 Caper. Bedtime, kiddies...
Nice mellow mix. Not particularly Southern though, which is fine with me. I lived in the South & I lived in New England, & this is the stuff I heard in NE.
Might you mean "Songs of the South Side of San Francisco, particularly the Mission District"? Because that feels right-on for this mix.
If that's the case, you might consider switching out the iconography in your cover art with 40-year-old bearded hipsters rolling down Valencia Street on their skateboards with a slice of Za in their hands. That's the only change I would suggest here.
You beat me to that one. It's like South Glen Park (san francisco). In other words, the stuff i dig. But I lived in Georgia at one point, so maybe there's some relationship?

I'm glad to see the Sea & Cake make an appearance (their first?). Great track from them, and I'm enjoying the rest, too.Very fine mix!
Not Southern really, but a very very good mix. It is on my regular rotation.
thanks

Otherwise, this is a fabulously enjoyable mix.
