Comment:

I had all these songs that I tended to hesitate to put on other mixes because they were really long, and I had to really really really love a six-minute-plus song to put it on a mix CD. So since my long song usage wasn't keeping up with my acquisition of long songs, I made a mix of nothing but long songs. I wanted them all to be over six minutes, but there was about five and a half minutes left after pulling ten songs for the mix, so I decided to be flexible for "White Lines" (which actually features Grandmaster Flash, in case you thought Duran Duran didn't have enough cred to cover that song).

Well, Jimmy Page plays on P(uff) Di/addy's evisceration of "Kashmir" and people still cry foul, so I don't think that argument holds up. That said, I really love a lot of the songs on here, especially the Buzzcocks' and LCD Soundsystem's.

You make a good point, Ben. But while most of the songs on the Duran Duran covers album are garbage, I still find "White Lines" and "911 Is a Joke" mysteriously compelling.
