Comment:

Well, it's a "double elimination" this time around!:
Van Halen - 1984 (1984)
Metallica - Master Of Puppets (1986)

Those of the sharp-eyed and attentive out there will note that I've used quite a significant number of songs from David Bowie's Outside on this as well as past mixes. Outside is what I like to refer to as David Bowie's "Movie Album". It seems that quite a few songs from the Outside disc have attracted the attention of several prominent filmmakers - including David Fincher, who used The Heart's Filthy Lesson over the (famously downward-scrolling) en-d credits of Seven (1995) in '95, and David Lynch, who used I'm Deranged in the main titles and en-d credit sequence of Lost Highway (1997)! The song I used this time, I Have Not Been To Oxford Town, was itself performed in the graduation party sequence early in Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers (1997) - albeit with al-tered lyrics.

Speaking of David Lynch's Lost Highway, I actually plan on using Bowie's I'm Deranged on my next mix! This time around, however, I included an Angelo Badalamenti instrumental piece from the film's soundtrack CD. It's called Red Bats With Teeth, and it was used as the Bill Pullman ch-aracter Fred Madison's frenzied nightclub performance on the tenor saxophone. It's also heard again later on in the film, after Fred has "become" the ch-aracter of Pete Dayton (Balthazar Getty), who is pained and distressed to hear that very same piece of music playing on the radio while at his job at a local car garage and then proceeds to change the station! (Much to the annoyance of his co-worker, played by the late, great Lynch-pin Jack Nance, who asks "What'd ya change it for?!")

As I did with Pink Floyd's When The Tigers Broke Free on MIX #71, I used a quieter and gentler song as an overture before getting things rocking and rolling. This time around I chose Blind Willie McTell, perhaps Bob Dylan's greatest masterpiece of the '80s, recorded and mysteriously left on the cutting room floor during the Infidels sessions! Go figure...

I think I pulled together a rather...well, for lack of a better word, noir closing sequence for Disc #1: a '76 Montrose rocker (sung by Bob James and not Sammy Hagar, who had left for a solo career by that time)...the lecherously sinister Stray Cat Blues from the Stones' Beggars Banquet in '68...the aforementioned Angelo Badalamenti movie instrumental, followed by the gentle yet eerie Sabbath classic Planet Caravan...and finally the Germs' lurching and menacing nine-minute-long 12-bar blues-punk rant Shut Down (Annihilation Man). Just as an exercise, try reciting the words "Let me touch the tips of inculcated desire" in as threatening and menacing a manner as possible. Trust me, you will not sound so much as a tenth as scary as the late Darby Crash. Guaranteed!
