A QUESTION: Does anyone think that maybe, perhaps I need a new form of classification for the kind of mixes I make? Granted, I always thought that "21st Century Rock Neo-Classicist" was rather clever, but perhaps it's a little too vague and doesn't really say much. Another description I like to use is "Pazuzu Pizza Pie" - and while that is certainly colorful, it's ultimately more gastronomical than musical! Does anybody else have any suggestions? "Frankenstein 24/7" perhaps? (HA, HA, HA...) It would have to be be something that would immediately grab my fellow posters' attention, and it would also have to be somewhat unconventional, because the particular combinations of artists are admittedly unusual - a motley hybrid of classic rock, hard rock, heavy metal, glam, grunge, alternative, a sprinkling of classical and film soundtracks (and in THIS case, just a pinch of new age with the Enya track)! How do you put a label on THAT, pray tell?! Okay, granted, the overwhelming majority of my mixes have a hard metallic spine to them, because that's where I gravitate towards first and foremost. But otherwise, I DO have a bit of an eclectic streak, and I daresay the songlists I come up with are definitely something that few others would think of! As far as new categories and classifications are concerned, I am definitely open to suggestions... [NOTE FROM 01-03-2013: This was way back when we could actually make up our own classifications for our mixes, instead of simply picking the appropriate Category and SubCategory...]

"Trashed" < "Let's Get Wasted" < "Ahead Of The Pack" < "Facing Up" < "Mouthpiece" < "Dirty Hands Empty Pockets / Already Gone" - Every so often, I like to start the show off with a sequence of sustained heavy metal thunder, with no let-up until about six or seven songs in! (Although, if I may say so, I thought the transition from COC's "Dirty Hands Empty Pockets / Already Gone" to Sting's "When We Dance," stylistically speaking, was much too abrupt! Oh well...)

"When We Dance" < "I Am An Animal" - HEH-HEH-HEH...Right now I can just imagine some drunken loser walking up to some beautiful woman in a bar or nightclub and springing that line on her in some corny, godawful Eurotrash accent. (Y'know, like, "Vhen ve dance, I am an animal!") And if she doesn't slap him or throw her drink in his face, and takes him up on his offer to dance, you know this might be the start of a very...[*AHEM*]...SPECIAL relationship!

"Temptation Inside Your Heart" - "Someone shut the door!" "Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong..." "You don't look like Martha & The Vandellas!" "Electricity comes from other planets." "The Pope in the silver castle!"

"For Whom The Bell Tolls" - Not a Metallica cover, but an early version of what would later become "The Gypsy Meets The Boy", from Blackie Lawless and W.A.S.P.'s next album, the rock opera "The Crimson Idol" (1992). Frankly, I prefer this earlier version...

"Mainline" - "I'm needing some lovin' / I'm hot like an oven!" Sheer bloody freaking poetry, no...? ;)

Love the 8-11 run on disk 1 (and that Sting song is okay, too, I guess ;-)
