Also, everyone, if you're ever in Memphis, go check out the Stax Museum of American Soul Music.
I have GOT to go to Memphis! (I've been wanting to go to Graceland for years.)
I don't know about you guys, but I've had it with super-strong little women who aren't me.

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Having just done some research for 1974 music for my Frankenmix - I gotta go with
my favorite song from each year 1974-2004.
1974 had some great stuff - but I wouldn't want to make a whole mix of it. Doing the research for each year would be fun, too.
Tina, geez, I don't envy your decision. Good luck.
Thanks hayden - today has sucked. Just got out of a big sobfest of a meeting. I wish I didn't like all these people so much. Bright side: I am buying a computer and getting an internet connec. for my abode so I will be able to spend all my time at b.org and not job huntingfreelance.

Oh yeah! I'll send you my "By The Time I Get To Memphis" mix if you do.

Cereal. Those are some cool-lookin' CDs, Aimee.
Tina, please accept a virtual hug.

Aren't they awesome? My friend told me about last night when I was running my CD-idea past him.

I've used those CDs. They are reliable as well as cool looking.

Cute, Aimee!
And Hayden, remind me again if/when I actually make the trip. Next year, maybe....

Southern Culture On the Skids?
But of course.
Aimee, I'd kind of lean toward doing a 1974 mix since a lot of good music came out that year in multiple genres. But it's not quite as good as say 1971 or 1972, so I can see why you'd do every year after. Those CDs do look very cool.
Anybody interested in the Stax story should check out Peter Guralnick's Sweet Soul Music which gives incredible insight into the southern soul music scene (driven by an unusual interracial pool of musicians and a generation of southern hipsters who adored black music).
Guralnick's books Feel Like Going Home and Lost Highway are also essential for any fan of American roots music.
