A quick announcement about a "new" member joining our little Culture Club. Please welcome Dejaveux to our midst. Since we have an opening in June he will be sliding into the rotation. I'll share your respective addresses with him so he gets his mix to correct place. And vice versa with the rest of the club. Looking forward to what music he has in store for us!

The Front Sleeve...
The CD...
The Back Sleeve...
Kind of self explanatory.
I always try to look for songs...
#1 I really like them. Yeah. Some probably think my songs are pretty simple and not "complex" enough. Oh well. I am a very simple man I guess.
#2 They can't be "run of the mill", "played to death" pieces. Most times.
There are a lot of train/ railroad songs out there. My inspiration came from riding the Verde Valley Railroad at Cottonwood, Arizona last Fall. They had a soundtrack playing in the background the whole train ride. Mostly the typical "train songs" that are overplayed. But there were a few gems here and there that caught my attention.
So that was the result of this mix.
Oh. Yes there's always a misspelled word somewhere in my artwork.
That back picture sleeve is actually a picture I took... not "borrowed".
It's an early morning shot of the abandoned Kaiser, Eagle Mountain Railroad. My son and I built a railbike and rode that line for about 15 miles. They've have since tore out those tracks.

I laughed when I saw your sleeve. I have a hard time coming up with a good theme (although I feel like I lucked out this time) so not long ago I figured I should start thinking of a theme now before my turn comes around.
Mr. Lazy suggested a while back, and most of us responded to the topic... What influenced your musical taste?
There's one for you.
I've had on the back burner... "My Favorite Songs... How Many I Can Fit On One CD" topic coming soon.
There's another one.

As for shipping, I sell stuff on eBay (very little nowadays, though) so I'm use to packing and shipping to the USA.
I'm glad I beat you to it.
Hey go for it.
There's plenty of songs still out there. I had to cut a few because they wouldn't fit.
I always try to stay away from the well known stuff... the best I can anyways.
Yeah. I don't mind the packing part... it's the paperwork I wasn't expecting. International... really?
That and the cost. Whew.
I try.
The music selection may not be up to par... so I try to make up for it with the artwork.
I'm glad it made it up to you.
It's work to send it there.
I feel for you. You have to send many the opposite direction.

MCC Almost Obscure
Yep. Lots of reflection and pausing going on here.
Midlake - The Old & The Young. Kind of reminds me of the Alan Parsons Project for some reason.
The Tallest Man on Earth - The Dreamer. Familiar with this artist. And Iâm happy you included him in your mix.
Anna Tivel - Memphis. Never heard of her before. Mellow stuff. Iâd never play this at work because it would slow me down and would start daydreaming
Penny & Sparrow - Wendigo. Wow. I thought this was Lord Huron. Another mellow introspective tune.
Madison Cunningham - Hospital. Never heard of Madison before. Nice little tune. It rocks a bit... thatâs nice
Anais Mitchell - Why We Build the Wall. Another new to me. Like the pedal steel in this. Hardcore gospel indeed.
Ex-Void - No Other Way. I like this a lot. One of my favorites in your mix. Must be the chiming guitars. They get me every time. Iâm adding it to my playlist
Mk.gee - Are You Looking Up. Nice one. New to me too again. Liked the guitar in this.
Indio - Hard Sun. The original! A nice gospel music tune. Great message.
Lord Huron - Looking Back. Speaking of Lord Huron. Always liked these guys. Nice Looking Back music.
Paisley Fields - Hands Off the Hat. Another favorite for me. Love the YâAlternative vibe. Going into my playlist.
The Jayhawks - Blue. Good olâ Jayhawks. I like their stuff.
Blitzen Trapper - Black River Killer. I know of their catalogue. Good stuff.
Tiny Cities - Body Cast. New to me. âHolding on to whatâs broken...â
David Rawlings - Cumberland Gap. I think Woody Guthrie did this way back. Nice cover. Well, I think theyâve all been covers.
Sunnymoon - Come Back. Never heard this one. Nice find. Pleading will get you everywhere.
TWEN - Godlike. More nice guitars. Kind of a âShoegazeyâ feel to this. Can really hear Siouxsie Sioux vocal style.
Vic Chesnutt - Flirted With You All My Life.Iâve heard about Vic for a long time. Never did investigated his music much. A very sad tale here.
Old Mervs - Hey. Hey! Another nice tune. And never heard of them before. Nice wall of guitars.
Great introspective tunes... good and new stuff Mr. Zsun.
Howsabout telling us all about it so the few that review can review?
ok being part of the mcc has caused me to stray from easy point and click to listen, like rp
and to search for things that most people haven't heard (that much)
which is good
almost obscure centers on/around vulnerability, storytelling, and the human condition/confliction
i'm sort of in a folk-leaning or indie-rock groove
going for a mix with some fun, some introspection (i've experienced a lot of loss lately) and emotional honesty over mainstream polish
hoping that everyone will find an ear worm ot two that makes you sing, reflect and or give pause
