Gracious Rock

This mixtape compilation is a pick of music that was inspired by my cousin, who happens to be visiting me right now from Belgium. Over the years he had set me on some paths of music. Way back when in the sevenites I was listening to some Art Rock and he was listening to early New Wave and some Punky New Wave. Think early Blondie. Not anything on this pick is exactly what he was listening to, but it is stuff that I listened to after hearing what he was listening to. If any of that makes any sense, I am surprised. So old and new it's just stuff that I thought of while remembering that transfer of mine. Called Gracious Rock because he has an unusual name (Jan Roel) and when I was looking up meanings of names, his can be translated to Gracious Rock (or Stone but rock works better for a compilation).
