Around this time last year, I posted a bunch of rootsy 80's mixtapes. Well, it's back to the 80s once again, but this time it's the more synthy, post-punk stuff. Also, here's the best tribute to Alex Chilton I've read yet (a blog post from Chuck Prophet written in 2007)

Great compilations, I love your blog!
Slight problem with the download for disc 2... keep getting an error that the file is not found the the server. = (
Heather,
Nice to hear you like the blog! With respect to the disc two download, try clicking on the regular download button on the sendspace page.
best,
Ish
If at first you don't succeed..... it worked, finally. Thx!
Do you really feel 'Talking Loud And Clear' is that great a song that it has to be on both discs?
@Peerke
No, not exactly - think I might have to cut my editor's salary for that one. In the meantime, I redid volume 2 and uploaded the new version with a different OMD song.
Thanks - I guess I'm stuck in the 80s too. You may also want to google WHFS - there are some tapes up somewhere with the same type of music you might like. Oh yes, I demand disc four!!!!
Thanks.
@Bill E,
Thanks for the tip (though I couldn't find the tapes on WHFS). And I promise a volume 4 at some point!
Fabulous compilation - this was MY eighties... most 80s compilations are 'top of the pops' and certainly aren't what I was listening to (way) back then. Thank you so much (even if it is making me feel a little old!)
@Lisa,
Yeah, listening to that stuff starts to make me feel a little old, too. Alas.....
