Awesome Mixtape ZED - A Guardians of the Galaxy Listening Companion

Sometime in the future when Peter Quill finally made it back to Earth, he was introduced to a number of people. Including Tony Stark.Who saw the two worn-out cassettes, the equally borked tech and took pity on the poor slob."You like this stuff? There's more, you know.""More?"Such a hopeful face. It almost made one want to shed a tear in sympathy."Pull up a chair and I'll show you. JARVIS, let's call this - awesome mixtape - zed. Last of its kind, we can only hope."----You poor things. I am so sorry.

Once upon a time, there was a social media site called turntable.com, and it allowed five people to play music together at time, taking turns. I absolutely loved it. Before licensing squabbles closed the site, I spent many happy hours playing music together in a room called "I <3 The 70's" - literally, anything released between 12/31/69 and 12/31/79 was fair game.When Guardians of The Galaxy came out, it sounded like old home week. The first thing I thought of was an alternative mix - taking other album cuts and hits from artists who were on the original soundtrack, stuff that sounded similar but wasn't and throwing something together as a companion listening piece. Here is the result.A huge effing earworm from yours truly to you. Enjoy.
