Comment:

Well, you may have noticed something a little different this time around. Yes, I've decided to use the cassette format for listing my CD mixes, mainly because I put them together as two-disc volumes, and I thought it would do my creations a greater justice to see both halves listed side by side. Even though together these are technically DISCS #65 and 66, together they comprise VOLUME #33, so I listed this collective volume as MIX #33. I hope that clears up any confusion! (Not that I think you wouldn't have figured it out yourselves - mind you, I don't think anyone out there's an idiot - but it's better to be explicit about the nature of any significant changes.)

Also, from now on I'm going to give a title to each of my mixes based on a lyric of one of the featured songs - in this case, a line from I Found A Reason, a Lou Reed/Velvet Underground song covered here by Cat Power (which I first heard and fell in love with in the movie V For Vendetta).

I think the Cat Power cover is better than the original. Anyway, interesting mix.

Way to go! This looks like a lot of fun, at least for the pre-1985 tunes. I'm not big on Megadeath or Whitesnake, but the rest looks great. Now you are just missing a way to share. I like the change in titling as well.

I also love that Cat Power version more than the original.

By diddly . . . . this makes me feel old . . . in particular the arguments that we had at School when Rush released that album and the arguments at college when Iron Maiden 'sold-out' with this single !That REM/Patti Smith is always in my current top 10 of all time listings - and it is all about Patti !!

sorry, forgot to say that this is a better format/titling convention for your mixes. Well done.

Lots of interesting picks...always liked that Led Zep track a lot, and great ones from the Stooges, Beefheart, REM, and the Stones, just to name a few. And kudos on the new format too!

Fine enough mix... but, with all due respect to certain commenters below -- the Cat Power cover of "I Found A Reason" better than the original? I'm sorry, but you simply must retract that statement. No, really, I insist. Everything about the original is simply perfect; the cover is a fine reworking, but you might as well say that William Shatner's take on "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" is an improvement on the original. Well, actually, ok, it sort of is, so bad example...

the all-inclusive format is a plus, as well as the more descriptive titles. nice work, Darth. great Rolling Stones pick, and like The Police track on disc two. I'll have to listen to Cat Power/Lou Reed versions again and throw in my 2 cents.
