A is for Aquaman: The Search for Arthur Joseph Curry

Over one year later, I return like the phoenix rising from the ashes. Now a father to a beautiful baby girl, my private time reduced to minutes from what had been hours. After deep thought on how best to use this space, I have decided on themed mixes, and since I read comics not novels, why not induldge both my loves - comics and music. Beginning with this mix, A is for Aquaman: The Search for Arthur Joseph Curry, I will bring you mixes named for some of my favorite characters from the DC Universe on a regular basis. As the title might imply, every song on this mix will begin with the letter "A". Consider it a primer on songs I like/love/enjoy that begin with the letter A. The mixes are designed to be listened to straight through, much like a mix tape, so I'll include a .rar download with every song at the bottom. For those of you that prefer selecting only a few songs, I'll include single links for each song. So without further explanation or rumination, I give you......

"Welcome Back, Frank"

Since I'm posting an instrumental upon my return to blogging, I figured I would quote the title of one of my favorite comics, "The Punisher:Marvel Knights". So I have been a little busy at work, foreclosures are up....my brother moved in for a few weeks....and other family matters have taken precedence...but tonight I return, and I promise, more good things will come and on a regular basis. Tonight, in celebration of the upcoming Cure shows I will attend, here's a look back to Lost Wishes, the instrumentals from the Wish studio sessions. Tonight, check out "The Three Sisters", a song that I only wish had lyrics.....
