Hi all. I’m guest-posting for Jeff today. When I was probably about 13 or so, my Uncle Mark made a series of mixtapes for my family that I’ve tried to reconstruct here. He was a big fan of Irish music, so it seemed appropriate to post this as close to St. Patrick’s Day as possible.
Side 1:
The Violent Femmes – American Music from Why Do Birds Sing?
Richard Thompson – I Feel So Good from Rumor and Sigh
Shriekback – Nemesis from Oil & Gold
The Replacements – Talent Show from Don’t Tell a Soul
The Proclaimers – I’m on My Way from Sunshine on Leith
The Pixies – Here Comes Your Man from Doolittle
Soul Asylum – Runaway Train from Grave Dancers Union

John Wesley Harding – Ordinary Weekend from Why We Fight
The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl – Fairytale of New York from If I Should Fall from Grace with God
