This was from right around when I joined the club, unfortunately the first few years of mixes fell out of my old truck and I no longer have them.

More where those came from!

While looking for a CD (in my many nooks) i came across this stash. Wow. Gonna have to set some time aside to listen to these again. It's always possible i got a few more hiding somewhere.

Why I do what I did...

The front sleeve...

The CD...

The back cover...

Why I did it?
I was listening to old recordings of "The Flo and Eddie Show" from the early 80's from KROQ-FM Los Angeles on You Tube recently. And talk about quirky, weird and messy.
The first song on my playlist here was played. And I thought okay that was an old one I haven't heard from way back. And it is strange. 
So I built on that one and flowed from there.
Some are obvious certified weird and heard before.
I hope some are newly quirky.

I have enjoyed every single miamizun disc, and this was no exception, but it felt quite different from earlier discs—smoother, less crunchy, more mellow and contemplative and less brash.

It may have been aided by the glass of Sudden Wisdom rye I'm nursing thru the listening, but I had the same impression the first time I heard it so go figure and please excuse any typos or run-on sentences. I blame the liquor.

This disc didn't have the usual standouts that jumped to my attention, but there were some I liked better. Like:

Lord Huron: Stepped out from the surroundings like a ripple from a rising trout in a placid pond. The lyrics told an interesting story to a lovely melody.
Correatown: Never heard of this band, thanks for the intro. Nothing spectacular here, no vocal gymnastics, just a lovely tune.
Junip: Familiar in a way I couldn't place. Built slowly to a nice energy.
Frankel: Nice Elliott Smith vibe. Sounds old, kinda '60s psychedelic.
Greg Laswel: A good bit edgier than the rest of the disc. Still mellow but creepy, in a cool way. Almost hear Peter Gabriel in the vocals now and then. Probably my favorite track.
Ian Post: Despite the somewhat shopworn studio theatrics I see a lot of potential here. Still ended up engaging, but I wish the producer had been willing to keep hands off and just let the music happen.
Pat Tierney: This one snuck up on me. Nice haunting lyrics.
Skinshape: Am I the only one who hears Paul Simon singing? I am? OK.
Tina Dico: Wow, like this one a lot. Terrific songwriting.
The Red Clay Strays: really grew on me with repeated listenings. Reminds me of a lot of bands, but especially a favorite PNW bar band, Heels to the Hardwood.
Unkle: Really fit the mood of the disc, great song to end with.

Once again a fine collection, and mostly new to me. If I have anything to offer as an improvement it would be in packaging—the post office utterly destroyed the jewel case and I was lucky it didn't scratch the disc. Made for a line evening of listening.

Wow, real long time no see !  from the daze of the pods !

Are you on the legacy site or the new site ?  I'm not good with the new sight.

Go to the legacy site.  legacy.radioparadise.com  

Open a new post or respond to your own and on the top tool bar you'll see all the way to the right the HTML button.  Click on it to open the editor window.

Move your cursor all the way to the bottom of all the text that appears and click to set the cursor.  You may need to hit the space bar or enter a couple of times to get a clearer space to paste. Take your html embed code from flickr and paste it there.  Select the medium size picture code.  Don't worry about where image is going to go  Once pasted hit the update button at the bottom and that should do it.  Once you have hit the update button, you are returned to the regular editor and can move the image around to where you might like it.  Check it out with the preview button.  Then hit submit.  If you don't like how it shows up in the post you can always hit the edit button and go back in and change things around a bit.

hth.  Cheers!

at the top of your post are a bunch of posting options starting with Parenthesis <> on the left and a smiley face on the right. Use the one that looks like a paperclip. It will ask to insert link. On the flickr site when you use the Share option (looks like a big swooping arrow) use the BBCode for the link to drop into the RP post. 

I would like to show y'all the stash of, ahem, historical MCC discs I found after a recent move, but I am forced to admit I need a refresher on sharing a pic here.   If anyone can give me a help I would appreciate it. I have the flickr code.
