For the first time in a while, someone submitted a track listing – but kept his or her identity secret. No problem with that, I just like sharing the fine mix listings. Write me at mike_bennett@fufkin.com with your mix CD or mix tape listing.

Here's my entry:

Catechism Of Cliche

RockFour – You Said
Stereolab – The Extension Trip
Royal Crescent Mob – Get On The Bus (This Ohio funk-rock band did this style better than anyone)
The Wrens – Faster Gun (Great rocker from their 2003 CD – sounds like Roxy Music meets emo)
Tubeway Army – My Shadow In Vain
Lolas – See Yer Picture Too
The New Normal – Never Never Man
The Sights – Hey Girl (A garage rocker from their debut)
The Pretty Things – Death Of A Socialite (An early psychedelic effort)

Trio – Hearts Are Trump
Belle & Sebastian – Piazza New York Catcher (What a pretty song with superb lyrics)

Montage – Grand Pianist (Michael Brown's post Left Banke band, in a very similar vein)
The Boris Flats – Geezerworld
George Harrison – Looking For My Life
Ray, Goodman & Brown – Special Lady (Awesome late ‘70s soul vocal group)
