- Thanks for the comment Thomas..Yeah i'm living my second youth at the Cavern Club! There 3 times this weekend..happy days! You've got immaculate taste in music. Loving browsing through the videos. I see you're a fan of The Smiths too..I was lucky enough to grow up on the other side of the road from Johhny Marr..That guy was always destined for great things. Will look forward to checking out all the really good bands you post. Best regards, Martin

catman said… Thomas, I just stumbled on your jangly-themed mix from back in Oct. 2010, and I just downloaded it. I know and love a lot of those songs, but some were new to me. I really like you notes on each track are great! Any chance you'll post another mix like that one?
Thanks,
Matt
