Comment:

Well, I don't know if the title is necessarily reflective of the content (beyond Track #2 on Disc #1). But if you're reading this, I can only assume that it succeeded in getting your attention (ha, ha)! Well, what can I say? I certainly do my best!

Well, if you know me, than you certainly know the drill by now: More of the same, only...different! This time around, I think things came together rather well, considering that I didn't really have much of a game plan to start off with and was basically winging it all the way through! Yeah, I think the track order of Disc #2 could perhaps have used a little ironing out in retrospect, but still I'm quite satisfied with Grand Funk and Oasis closing the show.

Elsewhere, what have we got on the menu? Well, we have Ozzy as a Rock 'N' Roll Rebel in sore need of the Rock 'N' Roll Doctor (and I swear I didn't plan that - honest!), the Velvets showing off their experimental side with an offbeat little tale of a surgical procedure gone horribly awry (which never ceases to raise the hairs on the back of my neck), a nifty pair of soundtrack instrumentals (one from Beatle George Harrison and one from ELP's Keith Emerson), a pair of dissertations on the oppressive nature of Father Time (from Megadeth and Floyd - and if I possessed any foresight whatsoever I would have put them back to back on the same disc!), a '66 rarity from Cream the John Entwistle-penned B-side of the Who's Magic Bus, Led Zep showing off their funky side, Joy Division showing off their Paranoid side (sounding more like vintage Sabbath than the Sabbath number which precedes it), the Mars Volta getting bilingual, the Manics paying tribute to one of their favorite painters, Motorhead rocking out '50s-style (complete with a banging piano part!), and a whole slew of other fun stuff!

Like the Deftones following George the Beatle. Keeps your head on straight.

Oh well, I aim to please! Success, however, is not always guaranteed... ;-)
