I've been sitting on this "AMX mix" for a few weeks now, and I'll tell you what:
it really improves with age; the more you listen, the more you know- and the more you know the more you GROW.
Here is the zip file, loaded up with over 20 songs! Supersounds of '70 will blow your business and lay you low. This is one of my (well-received, nearly world-famous) AMX mixes, so it too is loosely inspired by a Quentin Tarantino soundtrack. This one comes from Reservoir Dogs. Remember how Stephen Wright was the voice of that radio disc jockey?
And how he played these odd fun bouncy little 'jems' (that is a 'gem' and a 'jam')? Yeah, you remember that 'Stuck in the Middle with You" song that you really, really believed was Bob Dylan.
That sort of jem.
(If you don't know who Stephen Wright is, then you won't remember him from this show:
which, not conincidentally, is like this mix: funny, charming, odd, and old.)

You'll get a fuller account of this mix soon (busy busyWORKbusy busy), but here are some lyrical themes:
A newlywed who isn't getting any
Mom won't let me party!
MOCK! (yeah), ING! (yeah)
Someone not quite being cool enough that you'd believe he was from Missouri, that epicenter of kewl
Alcohol abuse (eyes so bloodshot, that "you'd better close those eyes, before you bleed to death")
Narcotics in liquid form
A girl with a face like a Holstein cow
Congratulating the fellow who broke your lover's heart
You know, 'the issues of our day'. Oh, why "of '70", you ask? Because that is the year of my father's AMX, which is what got this grand project off the ground.
