Comment:

It's always kind of bugged me that I decided to "dumb down" the Divine Comedy samplers I made a few years ago, making the first disc a straight ahead singles comp and the second disc a "best of the deep cuts and b-sides" collection. Making my Elvis Costello favorites discs recently inspired me to do a similar disc for The Divine Comedy. I'm usually in a quandary as to how to compile my top favorite artists, so I'm finding it much easier to compile discs using the "one disc of favorites, another disc of second-most favorites" method these days. It must be said that I'm retooling some of these compilations partially because I'm planning on turning a few friends on to these artists. Plus, retooling my TDC comp lets me include some stuff from their last album, "Absent Friends." I've got enough material lined up for a second disc of favorites...and maybe even a third. I'll most likely put all these discs together in a "box set," and I've been contemplating using the title and artwork of my original sampler "Smile While Your Head Explodes," but we'll see. So yeah, these are my utmost favorites by one of my top five artists, if forced at gunpoint to decide. I'd like to add that the flow on this disc is really something to behold...maybe not so much by my own design (although I did spend considerable time working it out) but aided by the fact that Neil Hannon's work really seems to mix nicely with itself. BTW, "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" was the last track to get axed. Special thanks again go to Dr E Vibenstein, who started my TDC obsession in the first place, eight years ago now.
