Here is the statement I made when I posted the mix...
"Andy Warhol was on my mind after viewing the recent PBS program and then getting the DVD. We came back from a visit to the Warhol museum in Pittsbugh with some great books on him and a deeper understanding. This CD mix came out of me like some "Exploding Plastic Inevitable". Andy Warhol was everywhere in NY during that time and these songs are all somehow connected to him.
The Factory, CBGB, The Velvets, The Dolls, Bowie, the Sticky Fingers cover, Nico, the entire New York scene. Warhol's influence was immense.
Of course this mix just uses Warhol as a touchstone to put together a collection of songs about him, the people around him and the NY scene in general.
The picture is from one of Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitible parties/shows."

And here is a link to that post on AotM.
However, this mix was originally put together in a slightly different form in the early 1980s on cassette. Like many of my mixes it has evolved over time. The early mix was an attempt to have the feel of an early 80’s artist hangout party with a particular emphasis on New York. It was a lot of NY 60’s, 70’s and 80’s music and other influences like the Velvet Underground and Lou Reed, David Bowie, New York Dolls, punk and New Wave. I have a copy of that first mix somewhere on the 3rd floor.
Then there was this hour long CD mix from 2007. Later it evolved into an hour and a half expanded edition around 2015 but kept close to the original idea of the mix.
Recently I made the really expanded mega mix that has a greater emphasis on all things New York. This was clocks in at almost 10 hours and explores the New York art and music scenes and everything on the mix I have in my collection. As with my other mega mixes I created this as a long playlist for an all day road trip or to play around the house. It also works well on shuffle.
The mix has the above mentioned punk and new wave but also funk, disco, rock and folk in blended mini sets that flow across the musical landscape. It also includes some interesting cover songs.
This mega mix has also moved to Spotify and is available to listen from the link below.
