Comment:

Well, today marks another four eliminations:
104. The Police - Synchronicity (1983)
105. The Mars Volta - De-Loused In The Comatorium (2003)
106. The Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols (1977)
107. Guns N' Roses - Use Your Illusion II (1991)
108. Soundgarden - Ultramega OK (1988)
(Well, I actually haven't used the version of Don't Cry with the al-ternate set of lyrics, but I'm counting both Use Your Illusions eliminated anyway!)
I haven't actually done the counting, but I think that this qualifies as a record-breaker in terms of the number of tracks on one of my mixes! I mean, wow...48 tracks!! Okay, okay, granted, quite a few of those are only in the one-to-two-minute ballpark (and I can think of no less than three that are actually less than a minute long)! But still...my usual average is - I'm just guessing here - at least 10 tracks less than what's on here! :-)
Fire Of Unknown Origin - One of Patti Smith's more overlooked sets of lyrics, and one of her most moving and haunting. Patti's version is a bonus track from the remastered Wave CD, very sparse with minimal piano and guitar accompaniment, and I used it as a prelude to the perhaps better-known BOC version, the title track from their 1981 album.
Evidently Chickentown < Lo And Behold! - Oh, come on! How could anybody be expected to pass this one up?! :-)
Sweet Young Thing Ain't Sweet No More < Music From The Unused Trailer ("The Exorcist") < Possession < Sex. Murder. Art. < Look Who's Evil Now - Y'know, I don't like to brag or anything...well...No, that's actually a baldfaced lie, because I do like to brag quite a lot (ha, ha, ha)! But I've just got to say that I find it truly regretta-ble that I don't have the ways and means of making my mixes available to everybody for download, because I would just love you all to get a load of this particular sequence! [*wink*] Let's just say that my funnybone kicked in pretty hardcore for this particular mix! (Granted, some might regard my sense of humor as rather...dodgy, but everyone's entitled to their opinion, I guess!)

My World - Yup, it's that crazy little industrial/rap number from Axl which caps off the Use Your Illusion saga! My favorite line: "Your CAT-scan shows disfiguration / I wanna laugh myself to death / With a misfired synapse with a bent configuration / I'll hold the line while you gasp for breath!" Quite impressive how Axl can take medical-technological jargon and turn it into something so...perverse-sounding!

One Minute Of Silence - Credited to John Lennon, this Soundgarden track is meant to be half of John and Yoko's Two Minutes Of Silence - specifically John's half. In actuality, however, it's not so much one minute of silence so much as one minute of tape hiss and studio background chatter (ha, ha, ha)!

Like the Chocolate Watchband-Mudhoney pairing. The Evil Dead number piques my interest.
