May 31st - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
Yes, I'm well aware that this is one of a total of FOUR mixes I posted in one day, and I know that you're really only supposed to post THREE per day. But hey! It happens to be my birthday! You wouldn't, like, seriously begrudge me this one little extra indulgence, would ya?? ;-)

"I'm Glad" - Although Don Van Vliet made his mark on the rock world as an avant-garde bluesman, this lovely ballad shows that he definitely would have cut it as a pure doo-wop tunesmith! :-)

"Meccamputechture" < "Little Doll" < "Girl Bomb" - At a certain point in this mix, I was just kind of making it up on the fly, and if I had to do it all over again (which I suppose I do, but I'm just too damn lazy - ha, ha, ha!), I would probably put these three tracks in reverse order. I suppose they're just fine the way they are, but I think it probably would have been better if I had the Mars Volta track leading into Pantera's "The Underground In America" < "Sandblasted Skin" sequence!

"Autumn" < "Bottom" - Duh, like...hey, George, that rhymes!! (NYUK, NYUK, NYUK!!) Actually, this was completely unintentional. (And I suppose you can either choose to believe that or not...;-))

"Chimes Of Freedom" - Yup, this live performance (from the "No Direction Home" soundtrack) is the one played at the Newport festival in '64! I've always greatly preferred this over the studio version from "Another Side Of Bob Dylan"...

"Crack In The Union Jack" < "How Many Say I" - Originally, I had planned on just having the Gary Cherone-era Van Halen number "How Many Say I" close out this set. It was actually the closing number on the ill-received "Van Halen III" album, and it's this slow, almost lounge-jazzy number with Eddie Van Halen himself on piano and singing the lead vocals (with Gary Cherone harmonizing on the chorus)! But then I had this insane thought that that the spacey 2-minute acoustic closer from Suede's 1999 "Head Music" release might make the perfect lead-in to the VH song. And you know what, that idea must have been truly insane, because I guess it panned out! ;-)
