Words by Rick Moslen We at Draw Us Lines care! You spend summer days watching friends swim, picnic, and tan in the happy sun while you remain at home with a broken heart from a lost relationship crumbled into yesterday's rotting garbage. Hang in there-you'll make it through this. To prove our greatest concern, let's write a prescription for your sad soul: a break-up mix! The only music mix more meaningful than an "I think I really dig you" compilation is an "I think I hate your fucking guts" mix. [...]

The fifth instalment in the Covered With Soul series departs from the custom of the previous four which featured mostly covers of non-soul originals. This mix consists of soul covers of soul songs.

My apologies to people that have been visiting this blog on a daily basis waiting for updates and active links. Still trying to figure out what happened with my server basically wiping out a load of my files, but in addition to that, I spent Thursday and Friday of last week in Milwaukee, with the exceptions of Thursday night (back to Madison to see Alejandro Escovedo) and Friday night (down to Illinois to start a back and forth series of runs between Chicagoland and Madison over the weekend).
