I know it's terrible isn't. It should be number 2 because I said so! ;)

I wish there was more of Mick in the Love Kills mix.
I'm embarrassed to say but I've tried many times and I can never make out Mick's voice in Love Kills.

Funny thing is I thought Kalamazoo was a made up place (like Fun Boy Three is a made up band name) until my wife started working for a US company whose head office is in Kalamazoo!!

I've got a mate who lives in Kalamazoo. You ever heard the Glenn Miller song, I've Got a Gal In Kalamazoo?

Sounds like a Trash City rip off.

Was Glenn Miller a time-travelling plagiarist? An exclusive IMCT action news investigation.

Based on what Hollywood tells me, I think the sneak might also have been Charles Lindbergh. You'd think he would have done better in the plane crash.

Just spitballin' here, but what if it was … the Lindbergh baby? Glenn Miller stole the kid, aged him rapidly using time travel technology, but it drove Manbaby Lindbergh insane and he murdered Miller over the Channel. It makes sense, doesn't it?

If my arm could stretch 6000 kms, I'd punch you from the comfort of my chair.
Don't tell me you had Trash City at number one? It has no chorus and a repetitive tune that strongly resembles Do Wah Diddy by Manfred Mann. The drums sound like they were played on dustbins. I do like the lyrics.
Trash City is basically a rockin version of Bankrobber, structurally.

I think just like most of the guitar it was removed or buried in the mix.

I can hear Mick, especially on the later "I don't knows."
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Yep, I'm sure Teddy mentioned in a earlier mix there's a lot more Mick.

I loaded up my training iPod with only Wilderness and Meskues stuff. Some observations.
Dumdum Club is under rated and only got 2 votes on the poll.
Return of the Blues Cowboy is a belter and if I voted again might even put it first. Probably helped by the great sound / production. I presume it was produced by Jools Holland?
