UNSEEN HISTORIES

I have recently managed to assemble that rare achievement, a mix CD which I would consider good enough for general distribution.

As it just so happens this ties in with the festive period, I will take this opportunity to offer a copy to all readers / friends as a new year's gift.

I know that a lot of people these days seem to have resorted to emailing and up/downloading entire mix tracklists to each other, but this all seems rather impersonal to me (not to mention technologically taxing with no access to free webspace), so, yeah, I mean I will actually post you a copy.

The CD has very few tracks on it from 2006, but everything on it has moved or cheered me during 2006. It doesn't have anything loud or scary on it at all I'm afraid, although there are several instances of lyrical obscenity, so I rate it PG.

Mostly it is good songs with good words in a variety of genres, with a few beautiful, weird instrumentals thrown in. If you like the same sort of bands that I do, or if you've swapped music with me before, you might already know some of the tracks, although astonishingly the CD has somehow ended up not featuring any Mountain Goats or Neil Young. But it does have Dead Moon, so all is right with the world.

If this sounds good to you, just drop me a line.

Happy new year!
