  1. The “The Jesus and Mary Chain, “Surfin’ USA”” track is awesome.

  2. So cool to see Grant Lee Phillips on the list. I loved his covers CD, Nineteeneighties.

  3. MIXCLOUD never has worked for me. So I will never get to hear your amazing collection while you use that system.
    Thanks for your time

  4. hint to software to convert rar into mp3 or wav? Thanks!

  5. Anything related to the Stone Roses is perfect. May I recommend the Codeine Velvet Club cover of I am the Resurrection for a future mix tape. That is the most original cover of a Roses song I’ve ever heard.

  6. Many thanks for this mix. Many I haven’t heard before. I’m a big fan of covers and there are some real treats here.

  7. The Cure doing D.M. is great!

  8. Awesome tape as always- THANK YOU! FYI- missing “Hello, I Love You” on Side B.

  9. The “Floorboards” track is great, but can’t help but feel Jason Falkner’s version would’ve been better – and even more deliciously obscure :-)

  10. The Replacements cover of The Pixies is absent from the RAR file.
