Comment:

A bit of a milestone here: 111 mixes...222 discs!! And the train just keeps right on a-rollin'... :-)

And today's "elimination" is: Mott The Hoople - Mott (1973)!

Until The Day Is Done < All Nightmare Long - Well, what can I say? I just can't get enough of the new R.E.M. and Metallica discs!

Darlene < Love - No, I don't have anything in my collection by the famous '50s/'60s girl-group singer and actress who sang Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)...but I hope that this particular Led Zep < Cult sequence more than makes up for it! (Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! I just positively kil-l me sometimes! [*wink*])

Hand In Hand / Just One Happy Day - Just a few of my favorite obscure artists from the early '90s! The Fluid was actually one of the first two bands on the Sub Pop label that weren't from the state of Washington. (The Fluid were from Denver, and I believe the Afghan Whigs were from...Cincinnati. Am I right?) Hand In Hand is the closing number from their 1993 disc Purplemetalflakemusic, their major-label (Hollywood Records) debut (which unfortunately turned out to be their last-ever disc). And L.A.'s Nymphs, fronted by the fiery, redheaded Inger Lorre, were purveyors of a fierce yet heartren-ding brand of gloom/punk/metal.

When Love Comes To Town < Gonna Creep Up On You < Love Is Strong < The Word - At first, I thought I made a rather serious tactical blunder! I thought that perhaps the Thin Lizzy song should have come before the U2/B.B. number, because that would have given the U2 < Stones < Beatles sequence a better sense of flow. On second thought, however, the way it is right now has a better sense of tonal continuity, I think...

Wearing The Inside Out - Another tribute to the late, great Pink Floyd keyboardist Rich-ard Wright, who just recently passed away. This was Wright's first - and last - lead vocal for Floyd since rejoining the David Gilmour-fronted band in 1987, and I thought it was only appropriate to include it here and now! Shine on... :-(

The Last Remaining Light / Steel Rain - A couple of lonely, brooding, apocalyptic ballads from the pen of Chris Cornell, the closing numbers from the first Audioslave disc (2002) and Cornell's first solo release Euphoria Morning (1999), respectively. I once thought that both songs would make good closers for both discs of the same mix, but I ultimately decided that to finish a whole mix off with one of these two songs would be just too much of a downer! :-( So I decided to make them the next-to-last tracks on their respective discs and en-d the mix with something a little more upbeat, namely...

Show Me The Way To Go Home - Yup, this is the same song the ch-aracters from Jaws (1975) were drunkenly singing along to before the shark attacks! (Ha, ha!) A bit of a jaunty swing arrangement from the boys in ELP brings Disc #222 of MIX #111 to a finish!
