Comment:

I'm baaaaaaack!! Yessiree-bob, 'tis I, folks! That's right, your frien-dly neighborhood demonically-possessed Sith Lord pizza delivery man has returned from the nether-regions to serve you up another pie, carved up into slices with his handy-dandy lightsaber CD-recorder lens! And to quote the ch-aracter Oli (Eythor Gudjonsson), the King of the Swing, from 2005 horror hit Hostel: "You are saved from boredom!"

Or not...[*wink*]

Oh well, in any case, here's MIX #78, and by this point you all pretty much know what to expect from yours truly, love it or hate it!

This time around my really big score was the o-pening sequence of four on Disc #2. Granted, this is probably the most unlikely group of artists to ever expect to share a mix sequence with each other (Oasis, QR, Gilmour and Idol), but I personally think these songs totally work like gangbusters when lined up together! Oh, by the way, the lyrics of David Gilmour's All Lovers Are Deranged were written by none other than Pete Townshen-d! (And by the way, here's a trivia question: What do o-peners Oasis and Quiet Riot have in common with each other?)

And yes, Dylan's live version of One Too Many Mornings is the rocking electric version played at the Manchester Trade Hall show from '66! The intro is a real hoot, with the irate folkie purists in the audience trying to disrupt the show by slow-clapping. Then Dylan starts mumbling barely audible gibberish under his breath, and when the crowd quiets to hear what he's trying to say, he then delivers the punchline: "...if only you just wouldn't clap so hard!!" (Ha, ha!)

There are a couple of juxtapositions here which are sort-of meant to be humorous: The placing of Peter Gabriel's Don't Give Up and Thin Lizzy's Get Out Of Here back to back (Google the lyrics to both, then get back to me!), as well as the placing of Def Leppard's Too Late For Love back to back with the Kings Of Leon's True Love Way. (In both cases, the second song in the sequence either contradicts or totally pulls the rug out from under the sentiments of the first!) However...the placing of a "moon" song back to back with a "sun" song on Disc #2 (R.E.M. and the Doors) was entirely a happy accident, I swear! The fact of such a perfect juxtaposition didn't even occur to me until I was playing it back the day after burning the mix! It's true, sometimes I just rely on my instincts, my subconscious and a stream-of-consciousness approach, and my mixes sometimes wind up looking more conceptual and thought-out than they actually are! (Believe me, if I really had thought of half of the rather seren-dipitous occurrences within my discs, they probably wouldn't even be half as good as they are - whatever that's worth to you!) :-)
