Yes, it's that time of year again - time for another 80s (mostly) postpunk mixtape. I tried to avoid the most obvious tracks, but I confess to not being as much of a maven about this stuff (there's a bunch of bands - like The Jesus and Mary Chain - that just weren't on my radar or I didn't quite get during my misbegotten late teen/early 20s years). And there were some obvious cuts I just couldn't resist - I'm looking at you The Waterboys' This is the Sea. (Also, I just noticed that the links for Discs 1-4 aren't working, so I'll try to re-up them.)
I should also mention that my posting on the blog is going to be reduced from now on - life change stuff, less free time, and all. Plus, I'm starting to run out of ideas for mixtapes. :)
