Well, offhand I'd have to say that this mix is perhaps a trifle...SCHIZOID (and even more so than usual by my admittedly libertine standards - which is saying something scary!). Each individual disc kind of has its own separate identity, and any sense of some greater whole seems to have eluded me this time around!

DISC #1 is definitely more the headbang-fest, culminating in the ferocious testosterone explosion of the final Maiden / Priest / Sevendust sequence (16-18). But DISC #2 definitely belongs to the ladies! Let's give it up for Siouxsie, Chrissie, Debbie, sisters Ann and Nancy, and Mama Cass! (And let's not forget Grace Slick - even though she doesn't appear on "Comin' Back To Me" - and Talking Heads bassist Tina Weymouth!) Interestingly enough, Annie Lennox sat out this round. Oh well, I'll inevitably get back to her... (And fellas, if you ever get YOUR ladies pissed off, you'll definitely understand the meaning of this particular mix title! Thank you, Steven Tyler...) And in another contrast to the avenging metalstorms of DISC #1, you'll also notice the second half also has more of a new-wave bent to it.

"I Want You Back Again" - I must confess to not really being a really die-hard Zombies fan. I picked up a copy of the '99 "Absolutely The Best" comp mainly because I wanted to use "She's Not There" together with Malcolm McLaren's "About Her" on separate discs of a mix I put together a while back. But their other songs certainly aren't bad, and most of them are short enough so that they provide a good "spacefiller" if I'm a couple minutes short and need to bring up the running time. So this use of "I Want You Back Again" was a bit of a last-minute brainstorm!

"Skin On Skin" < "Goodby Mass: In A Chapel Bodily Termination" - Don't know if this was in good taste or not, placing this QOTSA track of almost parodic carnality back-to-back with this Lou Reed number about a funeral service. You be the judge... ;)

"Paintbox" - An extra-special shout-out to JOHNNY_LUDDITE for reminding me of this Floyd B-side! He had used it in his recent "Pink Floyd Meets Frankenstein's Daughter" mixathon, and that's what inspired me to include it here (not having used it before).

"My Way" - The Who's OTHER Eddie Cochran cover (the most well-known, of course, being "Summertime Blues")! This one I got from the revamped and expanded '98 edition of "Odds & Sods."

"Frescobaldi, The Greatest Organist Of Our Time" - A classical instrumental from the '86 "Caravaggio" soundtrack - played on a HARPSICHORD, interestingly enough! Go figure...

I did always like that Johnny Cougar track.
