Mike Bennett:
CD-R of the Month:
September,
2005

Another recycled title from my mix tape days and another song I swear I put on a recent mix (the NRBQ) – I'm losing my memory. This sounds great in the car. Send me a mix listing – mike_bennett@fufkin.com.

I THINK, THEREFORE I'M DAMNED

The Barracudas – Summer Fun (Awesome single – their debut has just been reissued in the UK)
The Foo Fighters – Monkey Wrench
The 101 – Bus Fare
Roky Erickson & Bleib Allen – Starry Eyes (The Roky Erickson 2 CD comp is worth every penny)
Sean Na Na – Grew Into My Baby
Poor Luther's Bones – Devil's Broth
Duane Jarvis – Broken A/C Blues (Perfect summer song)
The Kinks – This Is Where I Belong (Ray Davies at his most Dylan-ish)
Pernice Brothers – Snow
The Steamkings – Surprise Yourself

The Pretty Things – Balloon Burning
