Comment:

Another clean-up mix. The sort-of title track (the other half isn't on the mix, cause I've listened to it to death) is one of those I've been listening to over and over again for the last couple weeks; it's just so GOOD. Need to get more Magazine. Got rid of the last of the Manishevitz and United States of America- and yes, I know I put almost the entire damn USA album on various mixes, but shit if it isn't a good album and it doesn't slot well. Also cleaned out more of the Brainiac and Matt Cook, tho there's plenty of that left, and a song I've been threatening to put on mixes since the first one. Hey, if I could put "Wrinkles" on a mix, why not Paul Lekakis' gay dance classic "Boom Boom"? I have to admit that my cracking up at its badness- emblematic with the esteem in which I hold the '80s- is tempered with a sick but rather genuine affection. A lot of this, I think, is due to my strongest memory of the song, which comes from an anti-AIDS PSA from sometime in the late 1980s, in which the song blared while police sirens went off in the background and a scared, huddled figure crouched in the corner lit by the police cars' flashing lights. I also must say that I've always loved the concept of- what was his name? Carl something, anyway, that song "Kung Fu Fighting", but the song itself was kind of a letdown. The nifty reggae cover version here by the Cimarons is everything I was hoping for out of the song. Thanks to Johan for that one. Also a couple of tracks left over from the infamous Mix 14. "Sparks" (mistitled on the box as "Underture") was intended as a companion to mix 34's "Amazing Journey", but had to be left off for space reasons. It was then in the running for the quasi-live theme of the 36th mix, but again considerations of space and flow intervened. I haven't liked the song as much ever since I realized it was just a reworking of the end of "Rael", honestly, and don't really understand why they tagged it onto the end of "Amazing Journey", which as Mix 34 proves works just dandy on its own. I originally meant to follow up the Manishevitz track with "I Fall Up" by Eno, but I went and forgot and used that track on a previous mix, so I went and sent it into something else.

I also decided to sequence this one by album sides. Just for the fuck of it. The first side ends with "All Got To Go", the second with "To Catch a Thief", the third begins and ends with "Sad Eyed Lady" (kind of a tribute to the vinyl version of Blonde on Blonde), and the fourth ends with, well, you can guess. The CD, of course, runs uninterrupted. Also, the first and last songs, both by Brainiac, could easily by switched with just as good results, I think. Probably a bad one for sleeping to, since as soon as that Floyd track puts you to sleep the last track will wake you the fuck up. Hopefully by the next mix I'll be back online and be able to throw on some Armand Schaubroeck.
