The inspiration for this disc came from the teetering pile of CDs on the little table next to the rocking chair where I keep my laptop, and the teetering pile came from...

Some live shows
Some internet shopping
A garage sale
A radio gig

The latter requires some explanation.

Every year I help out at the local college radio station fundraiser. For various donation levels you get t-shirts and hats and totebags and such, but they also put together incentive packages. Area businesses go all out to donate these things, from restaurant meals to whitewater rafting trips to (not kidding) a load of gravel.


The station itself puts together music packages as well, and since I'm in the booth I get first pick. I help out on an Americana/bluegrass show so the packages we push are mostly acoustic string band music, but lately I've been challenging myself. I picked genres I don't normally listen to (hiphop, ambient, poetry, techno) for my CD choices in an attempt to expand my tastes.

So I built up quite a pile of CDs I hadn't yet listened to and decided to go thru them with an eye toward picking a song from each for a mix disc. I didn't quite succeed; some discs just didn't have anything I could use, so I kept it to a single disc's worth. Cosy Sheridan got two cuts because they came from different discs and I really liked both and it's my disc so neener neener.

Since I was challenging my tastes I expect some of this will challenge yours. Hopefully that doesn't ruin it for you; if I didn't want to hear anything new I'd just listen to my own collection and never acquire another note, but that would be boring, wouldn't it? Can't have that.

Nice to hear you dedicate your time  to your local institute of higher learning.  I dabble occasionally in the some of our local offerings when I can tune them in on the car stereo. Sometimes I'm surprised by what I hear. Your mix was very diverse and that is what one can expect from a college experience (except in Florida anyway ;-). You always challenge us MCC members, but then again the title has "culture" in it. So many cultures, so little time (hehe, see what I did there?). Anyway thoughts along the way as I delved in with my new head phones.

Trio Mandilli - I don't know what they are singing about but they have great harmony
Cosy - digging the banjo work here. 
Collapsing Stars - Had a Rocky Raccoon kinda intro. The singer sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on who he reminds me of. I like em! Nice band name as well.
Muscles/Ride the Wheel - This is Lazy 8 special! I'm assuming you got this at a live show. 
Erge-Sholee Biste Turda - Some interesting sounds here (was really cool on headphones) many odd instruments and the vocals almost had a Yips-Muppet sound to them.
Missy Elliot - RRHOF? Really?
This Old Guitar - I'm hearing Harvest Moon on this one. 
RLJ - Stellar live performance of a beautiful song. Great CD, in my collection as well. 
Demeter in the Underworld - Good closer track, sweet vocals and good lyrics. 

Good job multi-tasking by clearing out your in box and getting your mix out simultaneously.  Your eclectic collection just got more broad, if that is possible. I'm wondering if they would deliver that load of gravel to New Jersey?

And the kitchen sink!
Well that was quite eclectic. Which I anticipate from the great State of Marty!
Lots of groups I've never heard before... once again. 
Some of my highlighted favorites.

2. Broken Circuit.   Anuska .  Wow! That was very Poppy. Yes. You surprised me right into the beginning of your mix.
3. Pretty Bird. Cosy Sheridan.  Is this an outtake from your "Songbird" Mix? Nice bluegrass thing there.
4. You & Me. BASSNECTAR. I liked this one. And I'm not much of an Electronica guy.
5. Relapse. Collapsing Stars. I liked this one too! Some familiar, friendly sounds.
6. Muscles/ Ride the Wheel. Buddy System. Yee Haw! More bluegrass... w/ juice harp! Almost a genre thing going on here?
7. Cold December Flies Away.  Storyhill. Seems we entered a small, backwoods Appalachian community and mellowed out on the front porch... for a moment.
9. Quit Wasting Time. Hippie Sabotage. That was quick. I suppose it didn't take those hippies long to sabotage the whole song.
10. Erge- Sholee- Bistse Turda. Hunn- Hurr- Tu. Okay. That blew up my spellcheck. I love didgeridoo's in songs.
13. This Old Guitar. Neil Young. Hey! I've heard of him before. And I know this song. Good ol' Neil. That is all.
14. Stewart's Coat. Rickie Lee Jones. I like Rickie. I like this one. I really need to dig into her catalog more.
16. The Haunting. Steven Thoams Schlagel.  This kind of reminds me of Nick Cave... along with the sad lyrics. But I liked it.

An interesting challenge! And heard somethings new for sure. I really liked your sleeve and title. That was a big "load of gravel"... with a lot of different types of rock!
I've been there many times trying to satisfy my habit.
Great job putting this together. And thanks for your work.

I have in the neighborhood of 600 CDs, 1000 vinyl records, countless downloads and over 100 mixed discs from the RPMCC, and of course there's Radio Paradise.  

I've carved out time to enjoy RP and the vinyl most days and hooked up an old 5 disc changer in my exercise room to listen the CD's. What to do with the mixed discs? I hit upon the idea of utilizing the 110 disc changer I have and letting it play on shuffle. While it goes against the spirit of the mix theme intent I figured it's a good way to get them into my listening routine. I'm looking forward to hearing the selections from past members (RMGman, SirD, Mary T and even a few from Scott from Wyoming!) that have moved on from the club along with the current rotation.  

Life is so much sweeter with song in it 

Yep. Time is an issue.
And I listen to music all the time. It's hard to hear it all.

we play loose with the rules, we can give him March and push the others out a month. Or if he is not in a position either way one of us can fill in if they have something ready for publish.

- Godley Creme - I'm a lifelong 10cc and G&C fan. However I never heard their debut album (not sure why but there it is). The vocal layering here was reminiscent of the I'm Not in Love track.      Probably my favorite lyric on the mix "spread your dreams like butter on your toast"

Fantastic story to go with. Much appreciated.

But the best line in that song is “The factory gates are opening / to let the night shift out / and the day shift in..,” - using “shift” either as to move or change - or as the group of workers.
Or wait. “You’re only half awake. The Other Half is shaving…” A brilliant piece of wordplay.

And, yes, I think they were letting us know in no uncertain terms that they were responsible for the voices on Not In Love.
I have two vinyl copies of Consequences, and the CD version. Damn I love those guys. You will absolutely be seeing them again on my mixes.
