Could the Living Get any Easier?

Your living just got a hell of a lot easier, with all our listeners demanding a mix (there is no truth in this statement, however you must admit it makes the whole thing sound better), I’ve complied one for you. With my musical taste being craftily cultivated by Tom over many years, combined with my lack of a full time job, I’ve had plenty of time spare to slap, smash and trash over 60 tunes in 50 minutes for your pleasure.

If you live in Melbourne you can also pick up a cd version of this mix, because this little beauty was also crafted in support of my personal record store of choice: CRAM.
533 Riversdale Rd.
Camberwell

Or you can download the mix here.
