AMAZON UK compares BAT FOR LASHES' NATASHA KHAN to such idiosyncratic artists as JOANNA NEWSOM, DEVENDRA BANHART, and COCOROSIE -- none of whom is a favorite of mine.
Then again, I can't say that I exactly LOVED Bat For Lashes' debut album, FUR AND GOLD. Except for the two songs below, that is. (And, maybe it's just me, but I hear more TORI AMOS and BJORK in Ms. Khan's sonic stylings.)

As I continue to methodically make my way through my old mix CDs, I keep stumbling upon random pockets of nostalgia....
Round about 1995, a friend of mine in L.A. introduced me to the band SUN-60. They weren't big then (though DAVE NAVARRO worked with them for a short time), and they would officially break up the following year, but I liked a number of their songs and asked my friend to put together a CD for me (I wouldn't enter the CD-burning age until 1999).
I can't remember the exact tracklist of that first CD-R, but I know that Sun-60's "Responsible" was on it, as well as all of the bonus tracks below. It's hard for me to believe that 12 years have passed since that time. At this rate, I'll be dead before I know it.
