Comment:

My chosen title, courtesy of Bob Dylan, precisely manages to convey how I feel about the current situation with the AOTM website! (Ha, ha, ha!)

*AHEM!* In all seriousness, now...I've been quite a busy boy lately, as you can plainly see! Granted, the four mixes I've most recently posted weren't necessarily done all at once, but it was only recently that I've actually had the opportunity to post them!

Admittedly, MIX #98 is a bit of a slightly mad hodgepodge, but since when exactly has that sort of thing not been a speciality of mine? :-)

NOTES, THOUGHTS, COMMENTS, EXPLANATIONS, ETC.:
1) Fire On High < Warped - On different occasions, I've often thought that this classic ELO instrumental and the first track of the only RHCP disc with Dave Navarro on guitar would both make great o-pening tracks. Then, I thought it would be an even better idea to put them together!
2) Snowblind < The Winner Loses - Put together, the closing sequence for Disc #1 makes for a kind of cautionary warning about the dangers of abusing certain powdery-white recreational chemicals!
3) Minstrel In The Gallery < Lady Stardust - Another pair that I thought might be interesting together, both songs kind of being about the relationship between performer and audience.
4) My White Bicycle / Fire Brigade - Some classic '60s British psychedelic-era gems, courtesy of the Nuggets II box set, available on Rhino Records!
5) All The Men In My Life Keep Getting Kil-led By Candarian Demons < Roller Skate Kate - Ummmmm...on second thought, no comment. (Ha, ha, ha!)
6) Ghosts < Televators - An eerie instrumental from the Requiem For A Dream (2000) soundtrack, performed by the Kronos Quartet, followed by a lilting ballad from the first full-length Mars Volta disc. The running time fell just a tad short of my preferred 78-minute mark, so I in-serted the former as a kind of prelude to the latter!
7) Crush - This elegant, sad and wistful ballad with a chiming guitar figure is quite possibly my favorite Smashing Pumpkins song ever! I had originally had it in mind to close this mix out with GN'R's Breakdown (which does come before), but then I thought I'd appen-d the Pumpkins song as a sort of elegiac coda. In my (not-so) humble opinion, I think it works rather nicely...
