Comment:

Here's a trip down memory line to the third in my ongoing series of mix volumes (of which I have so far made forty-one!). And here are my original comments:

"As you can probably tell by now, I do have a bit of a B-side bias! (I give the o-pening Aerosmith and Sex Pistols numbers as an example.) But as you can see, I don't indulge strictly in obscurities. I've got a handful of hits here, as well (The Who, Siouxsie)! Once more, variety was my goal, and the sequencing together of Thin Lizzy, Van Der Graaf Generator frontman Peter Hammill, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Guns N' Roses, and Yes bassist Chris Squire is one that is practically guaranteed not to be found on anyone else's mix disc but this one!

I couldn't precisely explain how the synapses in my brain fire to inspire me to make CD mixes the way I do. I fully admit, it seems like such a random jumble of hairpin stylistic turns without any rhyme or reason, but it does have a strange sort of resonance for me. Take Disc #2, for example: We start out rocking with a couple classic rockers, with '70s punk/new wave legen-d Rich-ard Hell adding spice to the proceedings, a couple of garage/punk numbers later on, and then it starts getting stranger, heavier, darker, weirder...until we climax an Ennio Morricone horror film instrumental and a dose of pop surrealism from '80s indie icons The Pixies. (Remember the en-d credits from Fight Club?)

And I'd like to know exactly what other possible way there is to top a mix like this off, except with a sparse, one-minute tongue-twister from John, Michelle, Denny and Cass!"
