Comment:

Again, this is one of my more recent mixes.

"Band On The Run" / "Nineteen Hundred And Eighty-Five" - Opening and closing tracks from Paul McCartney & Wings' "Band On The Run" album from 1973, which I used to bookend this mix. I felt it right on this occasion to use two tracks by the same artist (which is against my usual rule) because the closing song reprises the closing song at the very end!

"Not Fragile" / "Givin' It All Away" - Yet again, a violation of my usual rule about no two songs by the same artist on the same mix! But once again, I felt justified because: 1) They're the opening and closing tracks from a particular album - namely BTO's "Not Fragile" from 1974, and: 2) The closing track reprises an element of the opener - in this case the spoken "Not...fragile!" line. Also, I used them in a similar "framing" manner to the McCartney/Wings tracks, placing them just after the opener and just before the closer!

"Watch That Man" < "I Found Out" - The David Bowie song references a lyric from the John Lennon song. And what's more, Bowie actually refers to it as a "throwback" in his own song (thus giving this particular mix of mine its title)!

"Bad Religion" (X 2) - Two different songs, but with the same title (courtesy of Motorhead and Accept).

"Bullet Train" (X 2) - Two different songs, but with the same title (courtesy of Ripper-era Judas Priest and the former Nasty Suicide from Hanoi Rocks).

"Girls" (X 2) - Two different songs, but with the same title (courtesy of former Stooge Iggy Pop and once and future New York Doll David Johansen)!

"I'm Alive" (X 3) - THREE different songs, but with the same title (courtesy of Anthrax, Kiss, and Sebastian Bach)!

"Your Mama Don't Dance" < "Shooz" < "Your Poppa Don't Mind" < "Has Anybody Seen My Baby" - Four songs that I thought would work very well together in a sequence! (Also, Poison covers Loggins & Messina, while the Walkers cover Randy Newman.)

"Slick Black Limousine" < "Black Limousine" - Alice and the Stones. Pretty self-explanatory... ;)
