Comment:

rock'n'roll heart version of 'white light/white heat', surfer rosa version of 'vamos'.

i've been meaning to do this since seeing the old grey whistle test performance of 'psycho killer', although i had different plans for it at the time. it was a chance to use a lot of tracks that were rejected from other tapes for disturbing the flow. the theme's very subjective - ego, lust, frenzy and self-destruction, with a dash of "this fits, so i'll put it on".
