Comment:

Just three more reformattings to go after this one, and then we're free and clear for all brand new mixes!

As far as Disc #1 is concerned, there are still some signs of the seasonally-affected melancholy which permeated Disc #2 of Mix #17 (which we'll get to eventually), but it must be admitted that things perk up here just a tad! I actually may have addressed that issue on an unsconscious level with my choice for the last three songs on Disc #1, starting with the Manics asking So Why So Sad. And yes, I fully admit that the pairing-up of those last two songs is totally sick and wrong (ha, ha), but I have a sneaky hunch that if Kurt Cobain were still alive today, he would have heartily approved!

As far as Disc #2 is concerned, for once here's a case of my o-pening sequence being a lot stronger than my closing sequence. I think I started off the second half with a loud bang with the first four, and then I quite cleverly put two different-yet-similar mid-paced glam/punk/metal stompers back to back. But I freely admit the en-d sequence wasn't quite all it was cracked up to be. There wasn't quite enough running time to fit in everything I wanted, so I was forced to use the Moody Blues number as a sort of stopgap (although I do like the song) and then reshuffle the final four - ren-dering the final result merely adequate instead of perfect. (Although hey! What exactly is perfection??) But I still don't think the results are all that bad...
