That's true narco, you can't have you head in popular modern radio all day and then get to your mix wanting something vintage/70's and expect your ears and mind to be working together. I think if you listen to some old Steelydan (first couple records) 70's Stones records and just fill your ears with that ear of stuff on a regular basis, your ears and mind have relaxed an are used to those frequnces. Then it's easier to hear how your mix compares.
It never fails for me though, after listening to newer music that I'll be diggin on (modern production) I'll get pumped and inspired to go create something or get back to that mix I was doing yesterday, and It seems so lo-fi or dark in comparrison. The contrast is striking. But if I just spent the last hour listening to Blue Oyster Cult, then my mind and ears are telling me, "OK!, well I'm in the same ball park here, cool , this is soundig alright!"
