Finish this tape.....

About a year or so ago, I met and hung out with a writer named Sky (the husband of one my wife's colleagues) in Munich, Germany, and it was quickly deduced that we were both hapless music geeks with very decidedly strident opinions, but shared many a favorite band. After a few days of rummaging through his record collection and visiting many of the greater Munich area's record stores, we agreed to keep in touch and exchange tapes, etc. etc. Both of us, of course, got wrapped back up in other things later on, but his wife is visiting this week, so I'm putting together a package for her to pass onto him. Here's the list of the completed first tape that I made (but never sent) last year for him (bear in mind that Sky is an avowed fan of Wynonnie Harris, Johnny Cash, quirky rock esoterica, vintage Punk, Nuggets-era garage rock and the Stooges...he's not wild about Killing Joke, before you ask)....
