Comment:

This mix was originally submitted to Zen Running Order on February 3, 2010. The original notes and comments are as follows:



Darth Pazuzu (02-03-2010):
I only just recently started posting on the Zen Running Order site. If anyone happens to be interested in my earlier work (#1-227), I might suggest that you look me up on Art Of The Mix. That site ultimately proved to be, well...shall we say, less than reliable! So I chose to decamp and set up shop here, and so far I really like what I see. I'm seeing quite a few people from the old AOTM crowd, so I kind of feel like I'm among old friends here, so that's a good thing!

Dance < Midnite Dynamite < My! My! Time Flies! - A pair of glitzy, trashy '80s hard-rock anthems, followed by...Enya (?!) Remember how Wayne's World's Wayne Campbell (played by Mike Myers) listed a Nana Mouskouri disc among his favorite albums of all time (alongside the likes of Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith)? His rationale: "I include her as a sorbet, to cleanse the palate!" My reasoning here is quite similar, actually... ;-)

Hell - The musical number from probably the most horrifically memorable scene in Ken Russell's Lisztomania. Y'know, that nightmare fantasy scene where Roger Daltrey, as Franz Liszt, faces the threat of...well, bodily dismemberment!

Champagne - Definitely one of the memorable numbers from the 1975 film version of Tommy! (And one which Pete Townshend composed specifically for that film.)

Lucille < Good Golly Miss Molly - A pair of Little Richard covers, one from late Who bassist John Entwistle and one from CCR! (Both, incidentally, were also covered by the Everly Brothers.)

Strange Ways (X 2) - A cover version from Megadeth...and the classic KISS original!

(Gustav Mahler) Symphony No. 3: Fourth Movement < Symphony No. 5: Fourth Movement - I just got a copy of the movie Death In Venice (from 1972, starring Dirk Bogarde, directed by Luchino Visconti, and based on the story by Thomas Mann) on DVD recently, and I really liked it a lot. Both of these Mahler pieces were featured on the soundtrack. I also heartily recommend the Ken Russell biopic Mahler from 1974, with Robert Powell in the title role of the composer.

Today's elimination (2/3/10):
Alice In Chains - Black Gives Way To Blue (2009)



Mixxer (02-03-2010): Yeah, AOTM became less than reliable.
Good looking mix you got here.

kmbone (02-03-2010): Personally, my favorite Mahler is his first symphony.

Doowad (02-04-2010): You are among friends, Darth, it would be interesting to see a country mix from you ;-)

strange loop (02-04-2010): Looks awesome. It's a long ride from Ratt to Mahler! I dig the Living Colour, Floyd and the Tommy track particularly.

Mr. Mirage (02-05-2010): I'm likin' this series. Ditto on the comment by The Luddite (YOU LUDDITE, YOU!)... pulling something out that we may have overlooked or forgotten, well, that means as much to me as dropping in something I've never heard before.
