Comment:

A triple-elimination today (#179 - 6/4/09):
Various Artists - "The Crow" [O.S.T. - V/A] (1994)
The Rolling Stones - "Beggars Banquet" (1968)
Mindfunk - "Mind Funk" (1991)

"20th Century Fox Fanfare" < "Star Wars: Main Title/Rebel Blockade Runner" / "The Throne Room/End Title" - The beginning and ending selections from John Williams' score to George Lucas' sci-fi/fantasy masterpiece that launched a thousand starships! :-) :-) :-)

"Ghost Rider" (X 2) - Different songs...same title! First we have Henry Rollins and his band churning their way through a pulverizing, slow-burning, Sabbathized take on '70s New York new-wavers' Suicide's "Ghost Rider." Then we have the Rush song which shares its title with drummer/lyricist Neil Peart's book.

"RX Queen" < "Lounge Fly" - Deftones < STP. It was absolutely perfect! Same key, same rhythm and tempo...a smooth transition!

"Boredom" / "She Was Naked" - Two tracks used in the soundtrack of Anton Corbijn's 2007 biopic of Ian Curtis and Joy Division. (Although it's actually a live version of the Buzzcocks track which appears in the movie and on the soundtrack.) In the movie, there's this really funny exchange between Ian Curtis (played by Sam Riley) and bassist Peter Hook (played by Joe Anderson) regarding the Buzzcocks' name while they're watching their fellow Mancunians perform on TV: Hook says, "I wouldn't stand for it, y'know...having the word 'cock' in the name." And Curtis counters, "Well, they're not called the Cocks, are they? They're called the Buzzcocks!" And Hook replies, "Well, it's still got a 'cock' in it, doesn't it? All I'm sayin' is that I wouldn't stand for it, that's all." Don't know if an exchange like that ever occurred in real life, but it's pretty amusing! :-) And "She Was Naked" is performed by an obscure Dutch band called Supersister which was a favorite of director Corbijn...and as it turns out, unbeknownst to Corbijn, Joy Division drummer Stephen Carpenter was the only guy in his neighborhood growing up who had a copy of one of their albums!

"Venus In Furs" (X 2) - Two cover versions of the Velvet Underground S&M classic - one from Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro's 2001 solo album, and the other from Monster Magnet! (I had included the Velvets' 1967 original on an earlier mix quite some time back...)

"Once Upon A Daydream" < "A Room At The Heartbreak Hotel" - A pair of B-side "deep cuts" from the Police and U2!
