Got mine yesterday and for the first time maybe ever I actually do not recognize any of the artist in the whole mix. Look forward to all the new music!
All mixtapes mailed out today. I need to take a break so no need to mail anything out to me. I do have a couple of themes that I would love to tackle but that's for another time. My mind is too preoccupied with other things.
This mix isn't that great. I couldn't muster up enough songs for one theme I was planning on doing so I did this instead: I've accumulated a ton of CDs over the years (mostly cheap used ones but also lots given to me) and so many bands/artists I know nothing of. So I picked a whole bunch of unknowns and listened to each one and if I came across a song I liked, I used it for the Mixtape. So my theme is (Spoilers) "You Tell Me". Because I don't know.

Looking forward to it!

Do we interpret this as you putting your membership on "pause"?

Save the Whales. Iâm familiar with The Pursuit of Happiness. I even have a couple of their songs on my playlist filed under âPower Popâ. This is great with its psychedelic undertones. Me likey!
I was turned onto them when Todd Rundgren produced their first 2 albums. Love all their stuff. Wish they were still around.
The Size of My Fist- Iâve never heard of The Woodrow Wilsons. A very nice acoustic song. I will dig deeper into this group.
Confession, I never heard of them either. I went looking for bands with "patriotic" names and this popped up. Checked them out on Bandcamp and liked what I heard.
Dead Presidents- Never was a big fan of the J. Geils Band. The blues driven harmonica always turns me off. I know, Iâm in the minority here. Ask me if I care.
Always loved Peter Wolfâs later solo stuff through.
I know Geils gets put in the Blues category a lot, but they played kick-ass blues with a flair. I know your dislike of the Blues in general, myself I can only take so much. But Geils I can listen to anyday.
Dirty Water- The wife and I went on a tour of the Revolutionary War last July. We did a âDuck Tourâ of Boston while we were there. My wife gets on me every time when I answer all the questions brought up by the guides. I upstaged the guide on the Duck Boat when we dropped into the River Charles about The Standells.
What a classic Garage Rock song.
I grew up in the suburbs of Boston and have always loved that city. If you like history it's got it in spades. Done the Duckboat tour a few times, the drivers are usually hysterical. Best tour evah was a walking tour with a guy from Southie in a Celtics jersey with the classic Boston accent and lingo. History with a side of comedy.
This was a great mix for the 250th.! I really enjoyed it
Thank you.
I'm sorry I was so late with this.
I appreciate the great review, better late than nevah!
Wow! That was pretty good for a couple of Swedish girls. I wish I was aware of it, I would have used it on the mix. I saw them live once, opened up for Lord Huron, at Forest Hills in Queens where the US Open used to be played before they built the current complex. Great show, they were very enjoyable.

Going into the year 2026 I wanted to put together a mix to celebrate the upcoming 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
America- One of my favorite Simon and Garfunkel songs. Itâs up there as one of my favorite all time songs. The lonely, aching lyrics really hit me. That line âAnd the moon rose over an open field...â Sheesh.
Song for America- I never was a big fan of Kansas- the band. By this time, I just about had it with FM classic rock. Iâve never heard of this one before because of that. Kind of big and pompous. Goes with the territory I suppose.
Proud to Be An American- Those Tubes guys are always poking fun at numerous items. Never heard this one by them. Not bad. âA babyâs arm holding an apple!â notwithstanding.
Save the Whales. Iâm familiar with The Pursuit of Happiness. I even have a couple of their songs on my playlist filed under âPower Popâ. This is great with its psychedelic undertones. Me likey!
Indian Reservation- I still have my 45 of this song. This was their last big hit. Not a bad song. Kind of silly. And the reference to the Cherokee arenât real accurate. Looking into this song... I didnât realize it was a cover of a cover.
The Size of My Fist- Iâve never heard of The Woodrow Wilsons. A very nice acoustic song. I will dig deeper into this group.
Dead Presidents- Never was a big fan of the J. Geils Band. The blues driven harmonica always turns me off. I know, Iâm in the minority here. Ask me if I care.
Always loved Peter Wolfâs later solo stuff through.
The Day John Kennedy Died- I remember that day. I donât remember this song. I havenât followed Lou Reed real close but always liked what Iâve heard. This is a really nice story song.
James K. Polk- Thereâs nothing like a song about a president that people hardly talk about... from a band who goes out of its way to be out there. All with an accordion and a saw! Nice and quirky!
Dirty Water- The wife and I went on a tour of the Revolutionary War last July. We did a âDuck Tourâ of Boston while we were there. My wife gets on me every time when I answer all the questions brought up by the guides. I upstaged the guide on the Duck Boat when we dropped into the River Charles about The Standells.
What a classic Garage Rock song.
Fall in Philadelphia- Never heard this... but it is nice.
Raining in Baltimore- Iâve always liked the Counting Crows. Why all the hate? This is a great, sad song.
Independence Day- Love Elliot Smith. This particular song makes me feel good. Iâm not a big lyric follower usually. His songs make me listen harder.
4th of July â I just love this song. I like the version by fellow music collaborator Dave Alvin too. I always put this one on every 4th
of July. Or anytime I want to hear it.
4th of July- Iâve never heard this by Sweet. Glamness ensues!
Flags of Freedom- Neil and his political awareness at his best.
Ragged Old Flag- Nice history lesson from Johnny.
Star Spangled Banner- God job Jimi!
This was a great mix for the 250th.! I really enjoyed it
Thank you.

Thanks for the stellar review! I will have to look into Bowie's version of America. The only other one I've heard is the one by Yes, that depending on my mood either sucks or is the greatest cover ever.
He is not, he turned in his resignation a year ago or so. If you have been sending him your mix and he hasn't made any comment you can give him a pass.
Will try to get my contribution out by Thursday. But should be out Friday at the latest. Had a lot of fun doing my last one (really enjoyed it), but this one is a chore.
