Comment:

No outright eliminations today, but there are more than a few discs which I've just come pretty close to fully using up! :-)

Reach Out (I'll Be There) - After finding out about the recent passing of Levi Stubbs at the age of 72, it seemed the least I could do to give tribute. Granted, I don't actually have anything by the Four Tops in my collection, but I certainly hope this live David Johansen cover will suffice! (This is from his famous show at the Bottom Line in '78, with fellow NY Doll Syl Sylvain on guitar.)

Back Street Girl < I Am Mine - Another one of those sequences I come up with where I've had it in mind to use both songs for quite a while, and then only later getting the lightbulb flash of inspiration to put them back to back! And now, I honestly don't know how it could ever not have occurred to me to put these two together! :-)

Rock 'N' Roll Train - From the brand-spanking new AC/DC disc Black Ice! This, of course, is the first single. Overall, a pretty good disc. No Highway To Hell or Back In Black (but then, hey! what is?), but still probably their most consistent overall since 1990's The Razor's Edge.

Restless Farewell - The closing number from The Times They Are A-Changin'. Performed by Dylan years later for Frank Sinatra's 80th birthday special, and then later after Frank's death.

Solid Gold Brass - Tell me something: Do people usually refer to this famous '70s glam rock band as "The Sweet," or just as "Sweet"? I just thought I'd ask. Couldn't hurt, y'know...

Monday, Monday < Tears Are Falling < Flying < A Year To The Day < The Other Way Of Stopping - The first part of this mix that I had pretty much locked down in my head was the closing sequence for Disc #1. Why close out the first half with these particular five songs? I honestly couldn't tell you. But it's sort of one of those perfect musical inkblot representations of my psyche, and if you've got any insights whatsoever as to why, you're truly one step closer to understanding how my mind works better than I myself (ha, ha, ha)! [*wink*]
