links don't work =(

Thanks!

oops. sorry about old linkage for the first two. i didn't try them first. they worked last i knew. i'll see what maria can do. she is da brains in da house.

i actually know *most* of the tracks on vols 1+2 and NONE of the tracks on vol 3 ... damn dude, you went deep

this is awesome!

Would also love new links to the old mixes. I've heard them and they were awesome but I but forgot to save them.

My weekend is made

big fan here, cant wait to d/l this

I removed the old files and hopefully can find them again and upload them again in the next few days. I know there are mp3s of them on the wvvy computer. If I can't find them in my archives, I'll go there and get them for you. They are certainly gems.

er, that was me

Make sure to save these mixes. Skot's mixes are so big (each mp3 is 50 minutes of music) that I periodically have to free space on my web server.

http://www.radagast.org/jade-warrior/archive/GlynHavardAutobiography.html

thanks maria. the files are big, but they're small enough for e.g. http://www.mediafire.com/ if you're short of space.

I have volume 1 saved if you can't find it.

A third of the way through part two ATM... this is rad

Woah! Watch out for those beards, man!
And what's with those pretty afros on those black girls? I could go for a few of those.

I mean...heheh. Watch out for those BEADS man!

You dig?

Oh gawd! I haven't seen that Esperanto photo in eons (I believe the band was just called Esperanto and "rock orchestra" was the title of their first album). For some reason, it's always fascinated me. Dude on the right looks like the dorky mastermind behind it all. But his face betrays disappointment, as if he had to settle for these freaky platform wearers and Yvonne Elliman-esque moon spirits rather who weren't as committed. Also fascinating is that it took twelve (12!) people to create something like "On Down The Road," esp. since it's pretty modest for prog rock (or rock prog or whatever). Dig those string embellishments, esp. the plunk at 12:59. And actually, the femme chorus offers a critique of the ubiquitous road traveling man of rock mythos. Sorta - they tell him to come back home. But still, more than I expected.

All three of their albums received zero stars in the red Rolling Stone Record Guide. Here's Dave Marsh's entire review: "Don't you think anyone who is capable of envisioning a world that speaks one language (the utopian Esperanto) ought to be bright enough to know that 'rock orchestra' is an idiot's contradiction in terms? Me too. (Now deleted, in any language.)"

Best of all is the picture legend:

Gawd bless rawk and rawl. And Skot!!

"rather who weren't as committed"

delete "rather

I see it was all Raymond's fault.

vol 1 -

i cannot wait to hear vol 3! all i gotta do is wait til emma gets off the phone.

dirty longhairs in their patchouli reeking smocks

also, thanks

rules.

>>Best of all is the picture legend..

...which informs me that Glenn Shorrock (Little River Band) played in Esperanto! I don't think he's on the LP I own, "Last Tango," which features a completely crazed, Curved Air-like, violins-and-synths version of "Eleanor Rigby," the riff of which gets stuck in my head quite often. Can't wait to listen to this!!

nice job! i was rockin this during saturday BBQ

face = melted
thanks!

nice one... aut'chose! how the fuck did you find that in the states?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLAVQ5E_3_U&feature=related

Bumping this to make sure more people take full advantage of this goddamned awesome mix. Seriously, there is some unreal stuff on here. I would kill to have the individual tracks. (Did you rip them all yourself, Scott?).

Anyway, seriously, people - don't blow it

just checking but part 2 is showing up as 14 minutes.
the download is 27MB. is that right?
i tried twice - and got exactly the same.
BTW : loving what i've heard of course which came as a real surprise to me.

hmmmm, maria said that she got a bandwidth warning from her webhost. maybe that has something to do with it? she'll check it out. we might have to start using yousendit or whatever. she doesn't pay for tons of room. and i've got some other cool stuff that i want to put up online.

maybe someone saved this one and can put it up again? like tracer did with part one.

glad people are digging it though! it was tough to pick just one song from some of those albums. that's why i couldn't resist double-dipping from that gary farr album.

i'm glad i picked that third world track. it's the best on their album. i was tempted to put their immortal and epic "Hitler Is Alive & Well (In You)" on there instead, but it's really not the better tune despite the killer chorus and general dementia.

I'm reposting these on mediafire now (this is maria). I'll let you know when the links are ready.

http://www.mediafire.com/?yndzfdftynj

http://www.mediafire.com/?0r3myxcbmuz

I think that should work.

These are awesome Scott, I'm getting serious digger envy.

Your LP collection must be huge.

any chance of a re-up on 1 and 2?

listened to 3 while working through the night with a few friends, kept us going strong. lots of omgwtfawesome moments. cheers scott.

tracer hand put up volume one. it probably still works:

vol 1 -

http://www.sendspace.com/file/9ocofo

and, hey, while i'm at it, this mix still seems to be working. more for the rockheads out there:

Tracks - Street Fighting Man (So rare you won't even find it on a WFMU playlist! Seriously, many great songs and albums only exist on the interweb as part of an old FMU playlist. I know, I've checked! Anyway, Tracks were a Boston-based band and they made one triple-album(!!!) boxed set(!!!) in the early 70's of seriously accomplished hard/prog/southern rock jamz and nobody has ever heard it. But now YOU have! A little.)

Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart - It's All Happening On The Inside/Abracadabra/Jumping Jack Flash (The whole first side of Tommy & Bobby's greatest achievment is one long song/suite, so you get three interlocking parts. I've played this at least a hundred times over the years. They are my gods.)

Mandala - Come On Home (Mandala made one late-60's white soul album that yields exactly one song with a guitar solo so sharp and piercing that it will leave you bloody for weeks.)

Noah - Bury The Remains (death-pop piffle. a bit of a breather.)

Glass Harp - Changes (In The Heart Of My Own True Love) (More fireworks. Courtesy of Phil Keaggy,a guitar god if there ever was one. Three amazing albums of powerful prog/hard rock and then Phil was off to do the lord's work.)

Orion - While My Guitar Gently Weeps (*Token Novelty Number* But, you know, with lots of crazy guitars.)

Redwing - Soul Theft (rockage.)

The Gentrys - Stroll On (genius rockage. from a genius album.)

Song - Medicine Man (So hard to pick one song from this album. It's all good. This is the mammoth closer. It has to be the heaviest thing that Curt Boettcher ever had a hand on.)

Circus - Stop Wait & Listen (Local pop-rock band from Ohio makes an album of cool rocking stuff, puts it out on their own label, and then...well, nothing. This one coulda been big. Maybe.)

Terry Brooks & Strange - Mister Strange (This is what cult guitar heroes are made of. From 1980 and released on Terry's own Star People Records.)

Harvey Mandel - Bite The Electric Eel (Noodles! Lots and lots of noodles!)

The Max Demian Band - See Me Comin' Down (Cool Thin Lizzy rip from Herman Hesse obsessed hard rockers.)

Dirty Angels - You Got Me Runnin' (Another great album from an unjustly forgotten band. This thing just keeps on giving.)

A Foot In Cold Water - Yalla Yae (Canucks invent the new wave of british heavy metal years before the fact and don't even break a sweat.)

Valhalla - I'm Not Askin' (Again, hard to pick one song. One of my fave records of all time. Along with label-mates The Damnation Of Adam Blessing, Valhalla were made of greater stuff than most. Now on CD! I think.)

Underground Sunshine - Gimme Some Lovin' (Best known for their Beatles Birthday cover, this is simply 8 minutes of senseless mindless fuzz abuse.)

Thee Image - Show Your Love (Unbelievably over-the-top. A friggin' monument to over-the-top. A word to the wise: always buy a record if someone in the band is wearing a cape on the back cover.)

Scott, thanks for uploading this, I really liked the first two, very much appreciated. Not sure how I missed this one two months ago. Small problem, side two only gets halfway through track four before it stops, and the file is only 27MB when I'm guessing that it's actually meant to be nearer 90MB like side one is?

side one so awesome-- played loud while cleaning the house and doing laundry today >_<

side 2 as well

re-up plz :-x

side a: http://rapidshare.com/files/166401944/sweet_smoke_for_hotheads_vol._3__sid_1.mp3.html

Skot's Sexy 70's Mix For Sailors, Searchers, and Seers

i'll probably bump it off when i do a new mix. just so maria doesn't get too crowded.

this is awesome

d/l'd smooth sailing over the weekend d-_-b

vol.4 for the new summer season?

Kevin, you rule, but you know that.

― If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up,

Makes me so dad to read that now. :(

SAD! ugh

Kevin gave me vol 1 & 2 on my recent visit to austin. I'm floored. Thank you for making these Scott!

I want these, and slsk is no help. Help!

:B

yessssssssss. thanks!!

Thanks!!

entertaining folk with this right now, started 20mins in cuz that's when it gets reaaaallllyyy good A+

Corn Licker

Sweet Smoke for Hotheads Vol. 3 Side 2

If you have trouble initially, keep it open for a while, I'm the only person hosting at the moment.

wowee, that's something. i don't even have these anymore. dunno if i can even do the torrent thing. but i've listened to the tapes a ton. i actually made two more mixes a while back and never got them put on the computer. another hotheadz one and a country rock one. but i'm still alive so it could still happen. that corn licker one is a hoot! if its the one i'm thinking of.

i really want to get my freestyle edit mix and my rapstrumental mix online too. i've listened to those so many times. they really hold up.

hmm so what is the "19Feb07Skotmix" that I have... is that Sweet Smoke 2 or something else?

I think so, yeah. I tagged all my files with the right track titles and not the original filenames, also the track listing is in the lyrics field.

Scott - be glad to set up another torrent with any mixes you have that aren't in my first one ... I know I'm missing Don't Believe in Beatles.

There's a Hotheads 4??

And Scott, if you want files you no longer have, but you don't want to deal with torrenting (spellcheck insists this is spelled 'tormenting'), I can upload the whole package somewhere else for you.

Sweet Smoke for Hotheads Vol. 1
Sweet Smoke for Hotheads Vol. 2_ The Smoke Is Getting Thicker
