Comment:


Another pair of eliminations:
151. Van Der Graaf Generator - The Aerosol Grey Machine (1969) (#152 - 2/10/09)
152. Thin Lizzy - Bad Reputation (1977) (#152 - 2/10/09)

There There < As I Went Out One Morning - For some reason, I thought that these two numbers would go together really well! Perhaps it's because they share a vaguely similar lyrical subtext...or, al-ternatively, it could be that I made some sort of subconscious connection between the woodland imagery of the Radiohead video (which has singer Thom Yorke skulking suspiciously through some stop-motion Grimm's Fairy Tale forest landscape) and the woodland backdr-op of the cover image of the John Wesley Harding album! Whatever the case is, here's a sage piece of advice to my fellow AOTM'ers: The subconscious can be a mixer's greatest ally!

Welcome To The Occupation < Prodigal Son < Blue Suede Shoes - For some reason, I was less than certain about R.E.M. leading into Elvis Presley, so I came up with the (in retrospect odd) notion of the Seven-dust song serving as a bridge between the two! I honestly don't think it works all that well as such, but it does have singer Lajon Witherspoon saying "Let's give 'em their money's worth!" right before the band slams into the final notes at the en-d...which leads right into Elvis' "Well, it's one for the money / Two for the show..." (Ha, ha, ha!) So...while I'm not bowled over, I think it will do! [*wink*]

Into A Game < Television < I Think I Lost My Headache
Amused To Death < Talk Box < Warp Asylum < I'm Going Crazy - Whenever you're planning on concluding any disc with a series of long tracks (anywhere between 5-10 minutes, or longer), there's always a careful amount of calculation which must be done in terms of adding up the running times of the final sequence of tracks, so you know how much time you'll need to allow yourself at the en-d. Otherwise, y'know...you're screwed!! :( :( :(
