Comment:

Well, I've certainly had another busy spell. This is my second in two days. Actually I posted the first half of this a day before I had even started on Disc #2, only because I wanted to get it down and didn't want to wait!

NOTES, THOUGHTS, COMMENTS, EXPLANATIONS, ETC.::
1) She's So Fine: Noel Redding - R.I.P.
2) The Water Is Wide < Wild Mountain Thyme < Philomena: A nice little British Isles folk groove I got into! Actually, Lynott and Lizzy's Philomena was a bit of an afterthought, but it works as a nice extension to the Irish flavor of Wild Mountain Thyme.
3) New Age < Chinese Rock < Summer Cannibals < Thunder Kiss '65 < Fun House: The closing sequence for Disc #1 gets into a more urban-sounding, alt/proto-punk groove, with American founders Velvets, Ramones, Patti Smith and Stooges - with a little number from Rob Zombie's original band thrown in for good measure! (Thunder Kiss makes for a good transition into Fun House, I think!)
4) Fun House / Funtime < Move Right In: Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else smell a recurring motif here with Mister James Osterberg?? [*wink*] And rather nicely paired with Funtime is another Velvets tune, the somewhat lesser-known Move Right In, a thrashing cover version from Henry Rollins' first post-Black Flag solo release!
5) The Narrow Way, Pts. 1-3 / Parabol(a): Yeah, a bit of repetition in terms of individual tracks by the same artist, but I say that both of these qualify as one track apiece from Floyd/Gilmour and Tool! [*wink*]
6) Little Sister: True story: This song originated as Cheap Trick's attempt to write a commercial jingle for the Little Caesar's pizza chain! However, that plan fell through and it become the kickoff track to '85's Standing On The Edge instead.
7) Mood For A Day / Bron-Yr-Aur: Some lovely acoustic stylings from my two favorite rock guitarists of all time (no lie)! :-)
8) Purify < Last Hope: Quite fitting that metal cello ensemble Apocalyptica should appear back-to-back at least once with the band whose work originally inspired them into existence! Slayer's Dave Lombardo pounds the drums into submission on this one.
9) No Holds Barred: I'm not necessarily in complete accord with Ted Nugent's politics, so I often indulge a rather snidely subversive habit of mine, which is to follow up one of his songs with another song which somewhat brutally undercuts Nugent's sentiments. (MIX #65: Weeken-d Warriors < Pearl Jam - Glorified G. MIX #90 - my previous one: Lady Luck < Bob Dylan - Ballad Of Hollis Brown.) But in spite of such cheekiness on my part, I do have respect for the Nuge as just a badass, good-time all-American rock 'n' roller, so I decided to be generous and give him the last word here! [*wink*]

I think subtlety is your strong point.

I detect irony in Doowad's remark but then I'm English so I spy irony everywhere.
