    Any man who includes Mr. Encrypto on his Weekly Mixtape is all right by me...but I can't remember: did you know who he was before I put him on the flash drive? Anyway, kudos either way, both for that as well as Doug Powell and John Wicks...and, come to think of it, I think I might need to break out my Cathy Dennis CD. That's some good dance-pop right there...
  • Mr. Encrypto is all you, Mr. Harris. Gracias!

    Behind the Idiot's Guides, my favorite Jefitodose feature. I have discovered so many new favorites through the mixtape – glad to see it back.
  • When Taylor (Ms. T-Sides) featured the Two Gallants on her blog, I downloaded the selections and stuck them on my iPod. At first, my reaction was kind of "meh," but their music grew on me and now I'm quite fond of their songs.

    But what's up with Cathy Dennis? We're you a 13 year old girl in the 90s? ;-)
  • Oh, don't try and pretend you're too good for a little Cathy Dennis on a Sunday morning, PK. I know better.
  • Are you going to bring up Michelle Branch again? ;-)
  • WHarrisBullzEye
    You know what your problem is? TOO MANY WALLS. Break 'em down, sir, and enjoy the dance-pop goodness!
  • yay! a victory for Two Gallants! the track Jeff posted here is from "The Throes," which is their first album and the most popular.

    I'm so glad to have the Weekly Mixtape back. Excellant!
  • The Eugene Edwards is quite tasty, as if Pat DiNizio fronted Rockpile. I had trouble opening the John Wicks, but I'll try again later. Thanks, Jefito! Great to have this back.

    Thank you for this. You mix some delighful stuff I'd never heard of (Birdie Busch) with some I already know and can't get enough of (Tears for Fears).
    I really missed your mixtapes while Jefitoblog was down.

    Oooh. Cathy Dennis. Great songwriter. Couldn't dance to save her life, though. But ... as long as she wore those unitards ....
  • Long live the mixtape!

    Big thanks for the Clapton/Miller/Gadd/Sample/Sanborn. Sanborn and Sample are just awesome (Clapton's not bad either...)
  • joel
    Is anyone else having trouble downloading stuff today. I seem to only be getting snippets of songs. Same way when I try to play them from the page. Just curious if I am the only one. So glad you're back, Jeff. What a bonus to have so many of my favorites on one page!
  • Lynchie from Aberdeen
    Many thanks for the Call's "Walk Walk". I had the song on cassette when it 1st came out but it got chewed up somewhere along the way and I couldn't find a replacement, although I searched for it for a long time...

    Thanks again.
