Comment:

Not much to say about this one, beyond the fact that it's one of mine (and by now you know more or less what that means)!

Man oh man, the situation with this website is bordering on intolerable! :-( I'm trying to hang in there and do my thing, trying to spell out those words that are "blocked" and all, but depen-ding on the particular library computer I happen to be using on any given day (and whether or not there are corrupt cookies), I sometimes have little or no control over the situation! (I recently let the webmaster know in a message how displeased I was with the situation, and in no uncertain terms at that!) However, I'm doing my best not to get discouraged, and right now I'm still intent on plugging away! :-)

1) Highway Star / Ceremony: Some more songs from my two most recent purchases, the Deep Purple and New Order box sets (Shades 1968-1998 and Retro, respectively)!
2) Teacher: Even though I used two heavy-metal cover versions on another quite recent mix of mine, this marks the Pazuzu debut of Jethro Tull! Another purchase I made recently was The Best Of Jethro Tull: The Anniversary Collection, a 2-CD compilation from 1993 that was recently reissued!
3) It's A Sin To Go Away / The Bitter Thoughts Of Little Jane: A couple of late '60s gems from the Nuggets II box set, the former being from a band which could best be described as a kind of Peruvian Beatles, and the latter being from a little-known yet talented musician who would later become a busker and eventually collaborate with The Clash (on Sandinista!)!
4) Candy Store Rock < Lady Madonna: I don't know, this particular transition just makes a lot of sense to me, both songs being in a kind of '50s, faux-Elvis sort of groove! (Oh, by the way, this marks yet another "elimination": Led Zeppelin - Presence (1976)!)
5) Lady Frien-d: The first time I listened to the Byrds' box set There Is A Season (a present for my last birthday), this song didn't particularly jump out at me. Now, after a couple more spins, I've got to say that it's probably one of my favorite songs by that band (written by David Crosby, one of his last before being ousted from the band). It's just absolutely dro-p-dead gorgeous, with a ringing guitar figure that resounds like wedding chimes, in heartbreakingly ironic contrast to the sad lyrics which deal with the en-d of a relationship in very final, resigned terms.
6) Soothsayer < How To Disappear Completely < Crisis King < Born A Girl < Not Dark Yet: For some reason, I just became fixated on this particular concluding sequence, convinced that it would somehow work in spite of its...unlikeliness (for lack of a better word!). Does it, indeed, work? I guess I'll leave that judgment to others...
