#255 - Sometimes I Turn, There's Someone There, Other Times It's Only Me
Comment:
This mix was originally submitted to Zen Running Order on June 15, 2010. The original notes and/or comments are as follows...Darth Pazuzu (06-15-2010):
Well, as far as I'm concerned, the first half of DISC #2 looks a trifle...RANDOM! (And I'm probably being kind.) The entire 1-7 sequence of DISC #2 (from Kix to CSN&Y) is basically leftover tracks that I didn't have room for on earlier mixes and just never got around to using until now. So without any better ideas for how to kick off DISC #2, I just wove these numbers into a sequence, without much hope of them adding up to anything particularly cohesive! (HA, HA, HA...) Oh well, you can't score 100 every time, right? ;)
"Pass The Mic" / "Dub The Mic" - A track from the Beastie Boys' '92 disc "Check Your Head"...and its dub instrumental remix!
"C.O.D." < "Donation" - A lesser-known AC/DC number from '81...and an apparent sequel by German metal gods Accept! (The latter song even has a vocal chant of "C.O.D. charity!")
"Our House" - Completely apropos of nothing, I'd just like to share something totally stupid I once came up with: One time I saw an ad for the PBS TV series "This Old House" and I came up with a little ditty set to the tune of "This Old Man": "This old house, been here long / Make me want to sing this song / With a yip-yap yabba-dab, take it to the bank / Darlin' won't you yank my crank!" Granted, that's got sod-all to do with the CSN&Y track, but I just thought I'd share it with you. At least one of you out there should find it amusing... ;)
"Country Lane" - In retrospect, I think this Wendy Carlos soundtrack instrumental makes for a decidedly dark, offbeat closer, and frankly I'm not all that sure it even works as such. "Country Lane" was composed by Carlos for the soundtrack of Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" (1971), and was intended for the scene in which the "cured" Alex is captured and beaten in the rain by his former droogs who have now become policemen! But Kubrick opted instead to re-use Carlos' opening music cue instead. We get snatches of melody from the Latin "Dies Irae" (which of course Carlos would use as the theme for Kubrick's later "The Shining," from 1980) as well as Rossini's "The Thieving Magpie" (used earlier in the film) and the piece closes with rain and thunder sound effects with a vocoder-like chanting of "Singin' In The Rain"!
