DEFERRING TO DEBBIE D.

You never know what you'll find digging through old posts. Wander and you will occasionally hit pay-dirt. Sometimes it will be click after click. Sometimes it will be the first random click of the day, and that's what happened here. Just a chance click on a post from 2010 (!) at Rock 'n' Soul Ichiban found a great mix by the always reliable Debbie D. She's not even posting there or at Beware of the Blog anymore, but I knew from years past that, with her name attached to it, there's going to be some good shit. (How can you go wrong knowing that her favorite band is the Oblivians?)

So this mix was ostensibly for New Years Eve, but being that there is no running holiday theme the intent was likely to free up the hosts so they could guzzle more champagne. So, yeah, good for year round listening, a great mix, varied in styles and eras. You get the familiar (Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, Aretha, the Shangri-las) and the insanely obscure (Parting Gifts, Los Sirex, the Unrelated Segments) in all sorts of styles (first album era Modern Lovers and Charlie Rich in the same mix!). Twenty seven cuts and a few sound bites in a post that you never would have run across, put together by a woman with excellent taste. I sure do miss Debbie D.
