Mal ,'Safe'
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.

Not bad advice. I'm clumsy. A mix coincidence has forced a song from 2003 your mix to go on this mix. It was in my walkman when I started working on it - so the Stryofoam song gets the #2 song currently in your stereo slot.
Hey Hec - can you tell me anything interesting about The Clique? I can find precious little about them on the interbunny and they are the original artist of my song I thought was original but is actually a cover. Am I cheating by asking? Hope not.
they are the original artist of my song I thought was original but is actually a cover.
Teehee. I know what song it is.....
t skips off to the Jon & Sally show

Indeed I can. The Clique were a project overseen by Gary Zeckley, who we covered in the Bubblegum Book. I'm guessing you're including "I Am Superman" which R.E.M. covered? Zekley was one of those LA session guys who popped up on a lot of Beach Boys related projects. His best work (in my opinion) is with Yellow Balloon - near perfect baroque vocal harmonies done west coast style. Imagine the Beach Boys doing Vivaldi. He also wrote one of my favorite bubblegum songs for The Fun And Games: "The Grooviest Girl In The World."
Indeed I can.
Knew I could count on you, thanks.

Yes - I knew it would be obvious what song I had picked once I asked about the band. But I remember being shocked when I found out it was a cover...so I figured it ought to go on there. It was either that or "Golden Lights" by the Smiths and this just fit better.
So I just went to burn using iTunes for the first time (I usually use Toast) and guhhh! frustrating, but I realized I have 7 more minutes to fill! Back to the Library, I go.
And - my show got cancelled. Bummer. I've seen Danny Pound a milion times, but was looking forward to the other guy. Oh well. More time for mix pefecting I guess.
onion bagel:
I just finished mine - I think I came in a minute short. But more importanly, I finally let myself glance at everybody's liner notes (I just looked at song lists) OMG - I am soo freaking excited to hear all these.
Also - looking at my mix - it is very music-thread-folks'-tastes influenced. That's good though, I think.
msbelle - can i just say once more how much you rock for organizing this? 'cause you certainly do.
home w/new mix in hand, I go.
Almost forgot to tell ya's. I'm going to see Jon Langford & Sally Timms tonight. Who wants to touch me?!
Ooh, shiny!
I've finished my mix, yay! Here are my liner notes. And dudes, I am SO excited by everyone else's mixes. This is so much fun!
Huh. Kate P picked t.A.T.u. for a guilty pleasure too.
Yay! Teenage Russian pseudo-lesbians forever!
Ha!
I feel no guilt about that whatsoever.
In fact, I place my like of the pseudolesbianrussianteenact right up there with my like for porn. Culturally frowned upon, but shameless.
My guilty pleasure song, however, does make me feel guilt. Great guilt. Huge guilt.
I'm with you, Plei. So what's your guilty pleasure song? I guess I'll find out soon!
