Comment:

Well, there's quite a few cover tunes this time around! We've got: the Manics covering Andy Williams, Soundgarden covering the Ohio Players, APC covering Failure and Nirvana covering Devo!

I've long entertained the idea of having Queen's The Show Must Go On bringing one of my Disc #1's to a close...but not the entire mix. And certainly not paired up with Pink Floyd's Hey You! I think those two songs complement each other really well, but together they're just entirely too sad to function as the finale of an entire mix. I generally like to conclude either on a note of triumph or a quiet, restful note...but not on a sad (or angry) note. One time I concluded with The Moody Blues' The Night: Nights In White Satin / Late Lament, but that was more a note of quiet, melancholic and mysterious ambiguity.

Disc #2 o-pens with Joey, Bob Dylan's controversial epic ballad about the life and death of New York mobster Joey Gallo. It's quite simply a beautiful song, regardless of how one feels about its subject. Emmylou Harris contributes backing vocals (as she does for most of the songs on Dylan's '76 Desire), and I must admit I always tear up a little when I hear her gentle "aaaaahh"'s as Dylan sings the verse about Joey being gunned down in a New York clam bar, as he overturns the ta-ble to protect his family!

And we also have the title track from Metallica's much maligned St. Anger ('03), in all its pummeling, rampaging glory! I swear, Lars Ulrich's loosened skins simply ring out like a screaming klaxon alarm during the really fast parts. (And that's something that you actually get used to after a while! Man, I swear that this disc truly gets a bum rap from the naysayers...!)

Elsewhere, on Disc #1, I put a pair of fist-pumping heavy-metal anthems from Twisted Sister and Judas Priest back-to-back, both of which loudly and brazenly trumpet the cause of teenage rebellion, with the older and wiser Ian Hunter providing a not-unsympathetic "however..." afterward! (The Hunter track is a song from the soundtrack of a little-known '84 satirical comedy about the American school sy-stem starring Nick Nolte.)

And who are the Golliwogs, some of you may be asking? Well, they're basically none other than the very early Creedence Clearwater Revival, with Tommy Fogerty on lead vocals instead of his brother John! And I even think that Fight Fire was actually a minor hit when it came out...
