[TomAz]

hey, so, like, not that it matters or anything, but, like, I wanted to point this out.

The "Real People" mix. I feel quite honored and lucky to receive this mix from TomAZ,who has always been one of the best mixmakers on this board.Always has had a keen ear for the songs blending into each other and setting a mood.The mix was accompanied by an excellent 40 page set of liner notes explaining the biographies of the people the songs are about.Learned a LOT reading this.An example (about John Wesley Hardin):
"On December 25th 1869,Harding was playing cards with Jim Bradley in Towash,Hill County,Texas.Hardin was winning almost every hand,which angered Bradley,who threatened to "cut out his liver" if he won another.After Bradley drew a knife and a six-shooter,Hardin,unarmed,excused himself and left.Later that night Bradley went looking for Hardin,and upon seeing him on Towash Street,fired a shot which missed.Hardin drew both his pistols and fired,one shot striking Bradley's head and the other his chest.Dozens of people saw this fight and from them there is a good record of how Hardin used his guns:his holsters were sewn into his vest,with the butts pointed inward across his chest.He crossed his arms to draw.Hardin claimed this was the fastest way to draw,and he practiced every day."
The mix itself is laid out very cleverly,as follows:
COVER STORY
Marie Provost by Nick Lowe
OPINION
Good Evening Mr. Waldheim by Lou Reed
SPECIAL COVERAGE: VIOLENT CRIME IN AMERICA
John Wesley Harding by Bob Dylan
Lee Harvey by the Asylum Street Spankers
John Wayne Gacy,Jr. by Sufjan Stevens
John Walker's Blues by Steve Earle
LITERATURE AND THE ARTS
Bukowski by Modest Mouse
Meet James Ensor by They Might Be Giants
Helen Lundeberg by Sonic Youth
MUSIC
Elvis Presley Blues by Gillian Welch
Allison Krause by The Stills
Don't Sit On My Jimmy Shands by Richard Thompson
Alex Chilton by The Replacements
Levi Stubbs' Tears by Billy Bragg
The Ballad Of John and Yoko by The Beatles
CLOSING: IN MEMORIUM
Biko by Peter Gabriel

All great choices,with my personal favorites being the Bragg,Welch,Steve Earle and Gabriel tunes.The mix starts on a high note,and ends thoughtfully and movingly.Tom is a smart person,and it shows here.

So I'm thinking I'm gonna change my pick so as not to repeat.

2. The Wesley Willis Fiasco - Steve Albini (Drinkey)
3. Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey (Sublime)

[york707]

A clarifying question: Does the song have to be 1) about the famous person/directed to the famous, or 2) make reference to the famous person/utilize their name in a clever way?

[TomAz]

I thought it was a famous name in the title, though Mr Fuzz seems to have violated that rule.

I am considering changing since no one really knows who Kathy Rigby is.

[TomAz]

Cathy Rigby the gymnast turned tv commentator and actress who did a lot of shit in the 70s and 80s? I remember her.
