Well, I just got back from Eleni Mandell's show at Joe's Pub in New York City - a little short (due to the demands of the venue), but otherwise quite fabulous. DJ Bonebrake is playing drums on the tour which gives folks another reason to go see her if they get the chance.
Anyhoo, here's volumes 7-9 of my Rooting Around in the 80s series. These three have a lot more sad and slow songs (including John Doe's Take 52 - one of my personal faves) - good for late night driving. Oh, and my desktop is working again so the pix are back. Well, I thought the pix would be back, but apparently blogger isn't letting me put pictures up. I'll try it again next week.

I have been digging these L.A.-centric 80's mixes. Thanks so much!
Glad you like 'em. I'll probably post some single band/artist compilations from some of the artists here in a few months.
hey, you have some good stuff here. Thanks
Hi!
I'm a big fan from your blog... waiting every week for a new post. Love this compilation but cannot download vol 7 &8 since they are still on megaupload. Wonder if you could move them somewhere else.
Thanks for your work!
Dagoto,
I just re-upped them. Enjoy.
Thank you! Already in my ipod!
@Dagoto,
No problem!
Just downloaded the 9 volumes of this . Thanks so much
anonymous,
In retrospect, I might have gone a little too far, but there was a lot of good roots music from the West Coast in the 80s.
