Remember that one cartoon of The Far Side where a pair of aliens were buzzing over a panicked city in their flying saucer cheering "Yeeeeeeeeeeeha!"? I think they very possibly could have been listening to this mix during that interstellar romp....
This is a mix that was started, stopped, gutted, abandoned, revived, and nearly forgotten throughout the past year. I stumbled back upon the rough-draft playlist in early March and decided it was time to finish it. That playlist was right around 100 minutes, but paring it down to under 80 went pretty smoothly. There weren't any "painful omissions" that stick out, and I actually ended up adding a few songs, notably "Planet Of Sound" (one of my favorite Pixies songs and one I've wanted to use for a while) and "King Of The Monsters" (which seemed necessary after the joy of introducing my sons to their first Godzilla movie while I was working on this). A good portion of these songs, also, were discovered via free and legal means from various sources around this Internet thingy. So hop into your spaceship, turn the volume to eleven, and enjoy.
