One elimination this time (#176 - 5/31/09):
Radiohead - "OK Computer" (1997) (#176 - 5/31/09)

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?? ;-)

"Cry For A Shadow" - Very early Beatles instrumental number, penned by George Harrison and John Lennon, dating from their days backing up Tony Sheridan in Hamburg - and with Pete Best on drums!

"Darkness (Parts I, II, III)" < "Harold Land" < "The Continental" - I think it truly says something about the band's revolving-door membership situation that I can have three songs in a row featuring Yes or Yes musicians - and yet not have any overlapping personnel between them at all!! ("Harold Land" has original member Peter Banks on guitar instead of Steve Howe, and original drummer Bill Bruford instead of Alan White!)

"Star A.D." < "Workshop Of The Telescopes" < "Exit Music (For A Film)" - My three "winning lottery numbers"! Incidentally, the film referred to in the subtitle of the Radiohead song is Baz Luhrmann's modern-dress version of "Romeo And Juliet" from 1996, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes - and marked the song's first appearance, a year before "OK Computer." And I firmly believe that Faith No More's "Star A.D." is one of that band's all-time greatest "deep cuts"! :-)

"Paralyzed" (X 2) / "Prodigal Son" (X 2) - Same titles...completely different songs!

"Daddy Rolling Stone" (X 2) - Two different covers of a classic Otis Blackwell number. Johnny Thunders teams up with Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott and Small Faces/Humble Pie frontman Steve Marriott on the mike for his cover version (and the New York Dolls also performed it during their '75 "red leather" period towards the end of their original run). The Who's version was originally the flipside of the "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere" single. (Johnny, Phil, Steve, Keith and John...R.I.P.)

"California Man" / "Strange Magic" - ROCK TRIVIA TIME, KIDDIES!: What is the link between these two particular songs??

"I Don't Like The Drugs (But The Drugs Like Me)" < "She's Like Heroin" - No explanation required here, I think! ;-) I seriously think that SOAD's Daron Malakian is certifiably bonkers sometimes...but in a good way, mind you! One thing's for sure, I cannot restrain a giggling fit upon hearing his delivery of the lines "Chinese tricks in rooms / with ghosts of hooker girlie dudes"! :-) :-) :-)
"Luminous Times (Hold On To Love)" - A classic U2 "deep cut" - one of their B-sides, a rare songwriting collaboration with producer Brian Eno.
