Muxtape Challenge ahoy! We still have some tricky slots to fill, mostly in the early years, and really Muxtape isn't that hard to handle.
Meanwhile, while we prevaricate over our Primer idea Left And To The Back steals in with an extraordinary downloadable compilation of largely British and certainly not American 60s psychedelia, including Cook & Moore's glorious Bedazzled (fuck off, Fraser and Hurley, and fuck off BBC1 for continually showing that version), the Pretty Things, the Easybeats well post-Friday On My Mind, a disguised Simon Dupree and The Big Sound (Kites, yes?), early Steve Hillage, early Mick Jones (not that one, the one out of Foreigner who is also Mark Ronson's stepdad) and Elton John and Supertramp's Roger Hodgson together in 1969. This sort of thing is why we will only ever be makeweights in this music blogging business.

Thanks very much for linking to that! Hopefully you'll find the 1968 Muxtape as interesting when I finally get around to compiling it.
Incidentally, Sweeping the Nation's c97 and c98 compilations are great, and you also introduced me to Gindrinker this year (although I haven't managed to see them live yet) so I ought to pass on my belated thanks for those as well.
