Comment:

Yes, thank you very much, Lemmy - and I imagine that title's quite the attention-grabber. (Ha, ha, ha!)

Two more eliminations:
Bjork - Selmasongs (Dancer In The Dark O.S.T.) (2000) (#163 - 4/24/09)
Aerosmith - Get Your Wings (1974) (#163 - 4/24/09)

A SPECIAL NOTE TO FELLOW AOTM POSTERS!:
If you guys want to go all out and use italics, boldface and line breaks in your titles and liner notes, you're going to have to take a "backdoor" approach - namely, by setting up a mix with just a bare minimum of content and then using the Update feature to fill everything else in after the fact. So if you're the sort of mixer who prefers to use boldface and italics, don't let present circumstances stop you - just work around them! :-)

Also, if anyone's having trouble with their My Art Of The Mix pages resolving themselves, and having it take forever for all their mixes to be listed on that page, that may possibly have something to do with the recent glitch which caused Sides One and Two of the Cassette-format mixes to "mash up" into one big list! :-( Fear not, for there is an elegant, simple solution to untangling this: Just use the Up-date feature to re-submit them and they should return to normal. And when this happens, your My Art Of The Mix page won't take so long to resolve itself and you'll get your mixes listed a lot faster! :-)

However...if you try to re-submit your older mixes, you may encounter difficulty if they were originally submitted before all those words like KIL-L, BE-GIN, EN-D, AL-TER, the semicolon, etc., got blocked! So if you're going to re-submit older mixes, make sure you put in the appropriate dashes, slashes, stars and/or any appropriate substitutions within their texts so they'll go through!

Anyhoo...well this one's ever so slightly schizo, ain't it?! :-) I must admit, this plays more like a whole bunch of separate sequences that struck me as kind of cool, but which were kind of wedged together like puzzle pieces that didn't quite fit properly! I mean, sure it's okay, I guess...but I can't help thinking that it doesn't quite make up an organic whole. DISC #2 (Side B) especially feels weird - I mean, stringing Carl Palmer, the Manics, Elvis, Bjork, Perry Farrell and John Entwistle in a sequence is pretty freaky to me, never mind anyone else (ha, ha, ha)! But I did put in a lot of effort into making sure the pieces fit reasonably well, so I think perhaps I just pulled it off!

Cat Scratch Fever < Rock You Like A Hurricane - A rather deceptively straightforward, anthemic hard-rocking opening sequence which gives absolutely no indication as to just how freaky things will get down the road! [*wink*]

Angel < Stay (Faraway, So Close!) < House Of Cards - I had long had the idea of putting these three songs together in a sequence, but - at the risk of sounding completely full of it - I must say I surprised even myself at how beautifully this sequence turned out! :-)

Then Came The Last Days Of May / Black Licorice / Peg Leg Peggy - I remember waaaaayy back in my early childhood, I lived with my parents in Oakland, California, and after we moved in my parents gave me a whole bunch of their old records as a kind of housewarming gift. Mind you, I was only like four years old or something at the time, but I was heavily into music, and I remember having records by the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Yes, The Who, the Moody Blues, and so many others in my collection. And among them were the very first Blue Oyster Cult, Grand Funk's We're An American Band and John Entwistle's solo release Rigor Mortis Sets In! So this represents a major piece of my early childhood!

I RAN OUT OF SPACE IN THE COMMENTS SECTION AGAIN!! :-(

[*SIGH!*]...Oh well, continuing where I left off:
<br
And did you ever notice that the BOC number follows the Radiohead song? I seem to have an odd habit of putting Radiohead and BOC songs back-to-back in my mixes these days - usually sharing company in a sequence with Faith No More! I don't quite know why that is, or why I seem to think that these three bands' songs flow together so well. I mean, I suppose the only thing really connecting Radiohead, BOC and FNM is that they're all highly intelligent, eccentric and unique rock outfits...

Cvalda / So What! - Welcome to the machine...for better or for worse! [*wink*]
