Comment:

Alrighty then...The title of this mix is actually a hybrid of two lines from two different songs on DISC #1. Can anyone out there identify which two songs this mix gets its title from?? :-) :-) :-)

Blue Poles < Lucky < Heart Of Gold - I just thought that these three songs shared such a similar vibe and feel that I thought they would flow quite naturally together.

Take No Prisoners < ME 262 - A pretty damned sinister combination, I thought! (Granted, it's not quite as sick as pairing up Slayer's Angel Of Death with Angry Inch from Hedwig & The Angry Inch - which I did on a much earlier mix - but kind of in that ballpark!

D.B. Blues - This drunken acoustic "blues" ditty from Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P. is probably one of the most appallingly silly and stupid B-sides of all time! I imagine the band was under pressure from the suits at Capitol/EMI to come up with a B-side for their next single, so they vomited up this little ch-armer! (Ha, ha, ha!) So then...if I really thought it was that silly and stupid, then why did I decide to make this the closing number of DISC #1, you may ask? Hmmmmmmm...I dunno. Perhaps because I'm the sort of person that Kurt Cobain would refer to as "easily amused"! [*WINK*]

Bodhisattva (X 2) - You know the drill by now: Different song...same title! :-)

Black Hills - Okay, at this point I'm rather scraping the bottom of the Mott barrel! I included this rather nondescript - if nonetheless eerie and atmospheric - song written and sung by Mick Ralphs because at less than 1:30 in length it helped to fill in one of those pesky time gaps and shore up the running time a little!

This One's For Rock 'N' Roll < Rock And Roll Music - Two for rock and roll, actually! The first one's a good-time anthem from the latest - and word is it'll be the last - Hanoi Rocks album! The second is from the Manics, basically doing a cover the Beatles covering Chuck Berry!

Faithfully < Guaranteed - A gentle pair of closing numbers, the juxtaposition nonetheless reflects a sort of ambivalence. Whereas the classic Journey ballad is a song about a travelling rock musician longing for hearth and home and pledging his undying love to his wife and family, Vedder's song (written for the Into The Wild soundtrack, fittingly enough) is about the longing for freedom and the o-pen road and not wanting to be tied down and encumbered. I mean, after all, isn't that what life is kind of about for many people? That push/pull, back-and-forth between wanting love and security on one hand and craving indepen-dence on the other?
