Comment:

This mix was originally submitted to Zen Running Order on July 24, 2010. The original notes and/or comments are as follows...

Darth Pazuzu (07-24-2010):
"Mysteries Of Love" (X 3) / "Dee" / "Peace: A Theme" - Not one...not two...but THREE different versions of an Angelo Badalamenti theme from David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" (1986). The first two are instrumental, and I used them as opening numbers for both discs...and I followed them up with brief acoustic guitar instrumentals from Ozzy Osbourne's Randy Rhoads and King Crimson's Robert Fripp!

"Panorama" (X 2) - Different songs...same title!

"Money Can't Buy" / "Hypnotizing Ways (Oh Mamma)" - These two I'd like to dedicate to Electric Magic - two examples of Jimmy Page's post-Led Zeppelin work.

"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" - And this one goes out to Doowad! :)

"Cities In Dust" < "City Of The Angels" < "Just A Boy" < "Separate" < "Stain Of Mind" < "Lochness" - The final sequence of six on DISC #1. Quite honestly, the only songs I initially had in mind for the end of DISC #1 were the Sevendust < Slayer < Judas Priest metal trilogy, culminating of course in Judas Priest's 13-minute-plus (!) epic "Lochness," from their 2005 reunion disc with Rob Halford, "Angel Of Retribution." But then the Siouxsie < Wang Chung < KISS sequence just naturally seemed to click into place in front of it! (And I imagine the fact I would find the sequencing of Siouxsie, Wang Chung and KISS leading into the climactic sequencing of Sevendust, Slayer and Judas Priest natural in any way whatsoever probably speaks volumes about me!) I've been trying to imagine a good use for that Wang Chung instrumental for quite some time, anyway, and here it proved a perfect fit!

"I'm On A Boat" < "Love Boat Captain" - "I got my swim trunks and my flippie-floppies / I'm flippin' burgers while you at Kinko's straight flippin' copies!" Yeah, I know that some may regard "I'm On A Boat" as a rather dodgy inclusion, but I gotta say that I personally find the Lonely Island comedy troupe's digital shorts on "Saturday Night Live" to be just howlingly, gut-bustingly funny! And while I've never really been that big a fan of T-Pain (and quite honestly I'm really, really, REALLY not a fan of auto-tuned vocals AT ALL!), I must admit to finding a certain amount of respect for any dude capable of scoring with a mermaid (ALLEGEDLY)!

Which leads us to Pearl Jam's "Love Boat Captain"! Quite honestly, I personally find a great deal of cognitive dissonance in the notion of the admittedly dour and UBER-serious Pearl Jam taking inspiration for a song title from some old TV show. Don't get me wrong, I find it a really nice song, but until now the connection between Pearl Jam and "The Love Boat" has never ever really clicked with me. That is, until it occurred to me to place the Pearl Jam song right after the Lonely Island number! And somehow that makes everything all O.K.! Call it "compensatory sequencing," I guess...

doowad (07-26-2010):
Kudos for the Love Boat captain.

Petrocks (07-28-2010):
Really like that 4-8 run on side 2.
