My debut submission to Soundcloud with the terribly original title 'Sammy's Soundcloud' made especially for John Slatex, who introduced me to the site - not sure if he's too into sugary indie-pop but that's what this collection consists of. Anyway, he tends to just be a general lover of music, with a 'if it's good, I like it' attitude. He should like this.

It's been a while since I compiled a non-theme anything goes or for the hell of it mix. Generally when I start one of these, I don't know where it's going to go. Ok, maybe I do. It'll end up with lots of 2 1/2 minute sunshiny pop songs. As always. Hey, it's what I like. And these are the mixes of mine I tend to listen to the most. Hopefully others will to. If you do, enjoy!

So, for years now, I’ve wanted to do an MAS mix with Sam. His stuff,

be it here, on AOTM or his terrific blog, is always impressive, full

of energy and, as if that wasn't enough, I lost count ages ago of all

the GREAT music he’s turned me on to…I once commented on one of

Sammy’s Brit Pop compilations that I thought the 25 tracks, all

brand-spanking new to me in terms of both artists and tracks,

were akin to a Rutles thing. How could there be so much rich, fun and

NEW catchy pop out there? Heck, I‘ve been waiting like 30 years for

Bachman-Turner Overdrive’s next studio album…


They don’t have a new one out yet, do they?…


And Sammy made me a big fan of the The Bristols, for which I’m forever indebted…


Anyway, this was great fun and I’ve been listening to it ad nauseum

since we wrapped it up a few weeks ago. I’m still more than a bit

exhausted having struggled to keep up with Sam. Kinda like playing a

few sets with Nadal or 18 with Tiger…Good luck with that, right..?


So, in the grand tradition of other memorable duos like Cheech and

Chong….Fish and Chips…Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde…Lewis and Clark and, of

course, Leopold and Loeb, here‘s Sammy and The Radioguy…


Enjoy!


Notes from Sammy


Wow, Ken. After that glowing praise, I'm..... Speechless!
