Alright, I just finished listening to yours. Great stuff, nice and bitter sounding. The Archive track was easily my favorite of the bunch and great way to start the mix, I'd really be interested in hearing more by these guys. The Sex Pistols song of course was nice and snide in a way that only Mr. Rotten can do. I thought that Bitch Alert song worked particularly well in here. I had never heard of this group before but they reminded me a lot of L7 except, honestly, a little better than L7. And that Nina Simone song work well as a kind of dénouement for the mix.

Loved the first Ween track and a perfect reminder that I have an album of theirs unlistened to yet. The Shods track would be perfect to put on a cassette and posted to your ex as a snide remark

Stan Rigdway is a name I haven't heard for years but I have to say that I didn't much care for this track but I really liked the Heretix track.

This compilation makes me seem like a pessimistic bastard as it's quite upbeat and a celebration that she's gone! Great stuff. I may have to give the Heretix album a listen
That too bad you did get into the Stan Ridgway song. I find the story he tells in that song hysterically funny, in a very bitter way of course, and the almost jolly sound to the music makes it even funnier to me.

I'll send you some Heretix. The album "10-2-1" is from is really good IMO and that song isn't even close to being the best on it.
