IP - Yeah, ten was a fairly arbitrary number because I wasnt sure how many people would be interested. As KH states above, without a set limit it means we have to keep changing who sends to me. So lets keep the first ten in tact, we can give the second group a few more days and see how many more are interested and go from there. So far we have -

Mother, Moose-Hunter, Maverick
Am enjoying listening to this very much - so far highlights have been M Ward, Stephen Fretwell, A Girl Called Eddy (a really beautiful song), and Richard Swift (whose track Losing Sleep is awesome), none of which I had heard before. I'll have to get all these - great stuff.
The Pernice Brothers track is great, Ive heard them before and have been meaning to get an album for a while now. Richmond Fontaine Ive heard before and found rather dull, but this track is great. The Clientele I have and love. The other tracks Im still assimilating. Excellent CD , cheers to WSS.
Oh yeah, am loving the James Kirk track too - unsurprisingly very Orange Juicy.

Here's KH's mix CD. Been having lots of fun reading up on them and listening.
In order to reflect overall personal impressions I've given them scores out of ten:
1. Robbie Fulks - Let's Kill Saturday Night --- 4.
2. Danko Jones - Bounce --- 7.
3. Transplants - Gangsters And Thugs --- 5.
4. The Magnetic Fields - The Luckiest Guy on the Lower East Side --- 5.
5. Captain Beefheart - Growing Fins --- 7.
6. Mose Allison - I Don't Worry 'Bout A Thing --- 8.
7. Tom Waits - The Fall Of Troy --- 9.
8. Roky Erickson & The Aliens - If You Have Ghosts --- 9.
9. Willie & Waylon - Blackjack County Chains --- 8.
10. The Knife - Pass This On --- 8.
11. Daniel Johnston - Forever Your Love --- 9.
12. Super Furry Animals - Receptacle for the respectable --- 4.
13. Eels - Grace Kelly blues --- 6.
14. The Flaming Lips - Race for the Prize --- 8
15. Paul Westerberg - Only Lie worth telling --- 8.
16. John Wesley Harding - Kiss me, Miss Liberty --- 9.
17. Nina Simone - My Sweet Lord/Today is a killer (live) --- 2/4.
The only one I'd known prior was Wait's The Fall Of Troy, from the Dead Man Walking soundtrack. There are several writers here I'm inclined to check out more of, definitely the ones I've given 8s and 9s to - Westerberg, Roky Erickson, JW Harding.... Captain Beefheart I'd often heard about in reference to Waits but think I've never actually heard him. Daniel Johnston is a good find, though this performance is almost too painful, there's so much pathos... not for frequent listens. Checked out his site and read that he's pretty ill, so better health to him. I love the otherworldly seductive power of The Flaming Lips and The Knife that allows the listener to project into it. The FLs' stereo voice recording technique for example I think is really effective, the way thoughts kind of spring out from different directions. It was, and always is, impressive for me to learn that an artist (in this case The Knife) shuns mainstream media, record companies, even touring, and runs their own company. Transplants (kind of trip-hop, never heard of them), I also like the sounds of, especially the organ. It's a bit impersonal but this works to create its streetwise sense ok, imo. At least it doesn't turn me off like The Streets. Robbie Fulks' song... I can appreciate how it could appeal to a quite different audience (no doubt mostly a younger, more impressionable one. Hell, I thought he was a lot younger! He was my current age at the time, 35). Same with the Eels', Super Furry Animals' and The Magnetic Fields' ones. They've got redeeming features for me but I might like other stuff by them more. Pondering what I don't like about something has been a big part of the fun of this - it's hard to pin-point WHY sometimes... or why it may appeal to other folks. Willie and Waylon... no doubt here-- good, simple storytelling - 'outlaw' stuff evocative of some long past era that has probably been done to death, but that I can't get enough of. Danko Jones... I'd take friends to see this band, it really rocks - good dumb fun pop. It has self-deprecating humour and a great tight sound with great crashing cymbals. Nina Simone... I think she kind of just walks through this. It definitely lacks the sensitivity and sense of devotion evident in George Harrison's recording. The second bit is a bit stream-of-consciousness interesting, but overall I just never liked the quasi-fervour aspect of her style that I've seen. Lastly, Mose Allison-- EC's favourite philosopher... say no more. It's smart and elegant blues, which is a change from much of the usual.
Thanks again, Hoarse.
Noise, you should receive yours soon.

and he tells you of the dreamers
but he's cracked up like the road
