Hey, New Year's Eve! Party time! Wahey! Well, not at Chez Soundhog, obviously... so I've put this together for anyone else who isn't out celebrating one arbitrary number changing into another. I bet 2012's gonna be crap. Anyway...
If you've heard any of the other Mix90s, you should have an idea of what to expect. If not, I hope you'll find it an enjoyable experience. Everything in here is great, as far as I'm concerned. Well, there's one track which perhaps isn't, but I put it in anyway, just for the bloody hell of it and for the comedy value. See if you can spot it. Elsewhere there's beat, funk, psych, TV themes, a bit of prog, electronic genius, some hippy nonsense with extra hippies, library music, contractual obligation recordings, Japanese surfadelia, and bits of a 1963 birthday party in Brighton. All chosen and sequenced with a lot more care and attention than you might think, or than anyone else would smother on such a thing. There's method in the madness, you know.
Now, you'd not rather be dancing in a fountain while drunk, would you? Eh? Oh...

This is an eclectic, no-nonsense, musical playground. Fun! Fun! Fun! And speaking of Shonen Knife, nice work (or was that you?) on the Twist Barbie remix. Apart from the Knife, I was going to ask you whether you knew about the SECOND greatest band on the planet, but then I discovered you had already included the Go! Team in your April 2010 Volume 7 mix. Anyway, cheers from America - a few of us still have a bit of musical sense over here!
The power of Mix90 #6 compels me to chase down all such mixes and tell my (very limited these days) circle about them! If it's not too bittersweet a small txt file in the vein of Mix90 #3 briefly tagging these tracks would be very welcome! Just an obnoxious request from a greedy fan, feel free to disregard! Anyhow; Cheers! Thanks for making your many tracks available for download!
Thanks Kevin, and Mr./Mrs. Anon! I know all about small circles, trust me! I had every intention of doing the .txt files for the other mixes (including 6) but all that typing just got the better of me in the end. I keep trying to make another one of these mixes, but it's proving to be very "hard work". Anyway, ta for the nice words.
