Comment:

This is the result of a friend asking me to do a mix for this title. I can tell you, it had me stumped for a few months! I'm pleased with the end result though.
I kinda cheated on the final 3 songs, and I'll tell you why I say that:
Someone(s) attached them to violence/the dark side of human nature before I did.
Blue Velvet, the David Lynch movie of the same name. "Pabst Blue Ribbon!"
Wonderful Wonderful, used in an episode of the X-Files. You know, the one with the inbred clan...
Happy Heart, the final scene of Shallow Grave.
The use of these songs in those contexts has forever (and fantastically) changed their tones, and meanings for me. For the better.

Looks homicidally great NOV. Killing and spying seems to be the theme on AOTM today.

One last comment--"Homicide" by 999 would have fit nicely on this mix!
