MIX NOTES

I guess I will write mix notes for these 107 (!) songs some day when I have 2 weeks to kill. Until then, please imagine something both informative and clever in its place.

I will add one bit of semi-relevant trivia: I grew up on the same street in Cincinnati as the band Midnight Star (“Curious” – see above), and my friend and I used to hide in the bushes behind their house and listen to them practice. They were kind of like Cincinnati’s version of Zapp, who resided just an hour away in Dayton – the epicenter of Midwestern Funk that claimed Slave, Aurra, Lakeside, Faze-O, The Ohio Players, etc . Cincinnati had its own Funk legacy, mind you, with James Brown, Bootsy & The JB’s all calling it home for a good chunk of time, as well as The Isley Brothers, 24 carat Black, etc. But I digress. Midnight Star had the matching sparkly outfits. vocoders. and a big ass tour bus that would take up half the block. I thought they were cool as shit, and I assumed they had no idea I existed. Years later, my brother from another mother Chris Donnelly, who played guitar in our high school hardcore band Sluggo, got to meet Midnight Star through one of his Shag gigs. He mentioned to them how we used to practice in my basement, just down the block from their house. Outta nowhere, dude was like “That punk band was you?! We heard you guys all the time!’. This made my day/month/year.
