Comment:

My apologies for last time around. I know I have an unfortunate ten-dency to be overly prolific, and two days ago I posted MIXES #35 and 36 - on the same day. I can see from the scarcity of commentary (compared with my previous two postings, which perhaps significantly coincided with my recent change of format) that perhaps this was a mistake. Believe me, I'm trying to space these apart as best I can, and I'm trying not to overdo it. But like I said, there are times when I can be insanely prolific! Not to worry, though, for this is my only mix for today.

Once again, it's pretty much my usual eclectic rock-out. As I stated in the comments for my previous mix (#36), I usually have a rule against having two songs by the same artist on the same mix (and if there are two songs featuring overlapping musicians, I usually put them on separate discs). This time around I felt compelled to make an exception in the case of Queen, simply because We Will Rock You and We Are The Champions naturally go together and it wouldn't feel right to isolate them.

Although there are no tracks anywhere by Nirvana or Sex Pistols on this particular mix, the spiritual presence of Kurt Cobain and Johnny Rotten is implicitly invoked by final sequence of six. Peter Hammill was a favorite of Rotten, as was Neil Young. Young and Iggy Pop were strong influences on both Rotten and Cobain. Johnny Rotten's name is directly invoked by Young in Hey Hey, My My, and one of the lines of that song was quoted in Cobain's suicide note. However, that's not the line I choose for the title of this mix, and it's a pity that Cobain didn't pay more attention to the line that I did en-d up choosing! Cobain was also a fan of Queen, and in his suicide note, he expressed regret that he could never feel as fulfilled by rock stardom as he felt Freddie Mercury was. :-(

Indie-rock and Sub Pop aficionados, take note: I've got a cool little number by a group called the Walkabouts on Disc #1! :-)

Also, it's truly regrettab-le that I cannot segue tracks together on my dual-deck machine, because David Gilmour's On An Island and the Mars Volta's Vermicide would blen-d together almost seamlessly!
