"Pick up the pieces with sticky fingers"
What a weird mix; I don't know anyone else who would put Foreigner, Kate Bush, and Marilyn Manson in the same set.
Not being an expert in musical theory, let me try and explain a 6/8 time signature:
If you went to a dance club nearly all the music would be in 4/4 time which means four beats per measure. If you counted to the music
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
The numbers would follow the bass drum and snare drum
boom - bap - boom - bap
Measures are then strung together and form the structure of the song. The verses, choruses, breaks, and bridges would all be divisible by four. 6/8 time sort of follows that structure. You can still count
1 - 2 - 3 - 4
boom - bap - boom - bap
But instead of each beat being divisible by 4 (16th notes), each beat is a triplet, or divisible by three
1-2-3 - 1-2-3 - 1-2-3 - 1-2-3
The effect is a sort of rolling or bouncing feel to the music. Everything used in this mix is in 6/8 time, and more than one song alludes to (or samples) Gary Glitter's Rock & Roll (Part II) - probably the most famous example of 6/8 time in pop music. Other examples include:
Turn To Stone by ELO
Spirit In The Sky by Norman Greenbaum
Grace Kelly by Mika
One Of These Days by Pink Floyd
Clean by Depeche Mode
As for the songs I've used here, Kate Bush's Eat The Music is one of my all-time favorites. It has that unbridled, vaguely latin sexual feel that evokes hot weather to me. Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Watching The Wildlife was their final single as a band - the third from the criminally underrated Liverpool, and Empire State Human is a Human League cover by Greek female duo Marsheaux.

I was asked to mix one of the door prize CDs to be given away at Kavity, an 80's-themed party in San Francisco. Some of these songs were in my final set - others weren't. I tried to strike a balance between original mixes of classic tracks, some edgier fare, and new mixes of old favorites. I wanted it to be retro without feeling tired and boring.

Hoooo boy, where do I start with this...?
Liquid Sky was a painfully low budget sci-fi film released in 1983 and has become a cult classic. I'm not going to get into the details, but you can read the plot synopsis, etc., here. Personally, I hate it.
However...
The soundtrack is pretty remarkable for several reasons. It was recorded using a Fairlight CMI, one of the first commercial sampling synthesizers. The Fairlight was super expensive at that time and not available to many people, however, there was a public access space in New York City that made one availble to artists.
I'm going to paraphrase a fellow named Henry Warwick who I met many years ago on the Severed Heads mailing list. Henry told me this story and I've not bothered to verify the facts or anything, so feel free to take them with a grain of salt:
"Because this particular Fairlight was public access the artists who used it were not allowed to sell anything they may have created on it because that would be taking money away from the city. Slava Tsukerman, who scored the film with both original compositions and adaptations of work by Carl Orff, Anthony Philip Heinrich, and Marin Marais, blatantly disregarded this rule and pressed up copies of the soundtrack. Knowing how music reproduction happens I'd venture a guess that there were no more than 1000-2000 copies in that first run (LPs of course - CDs weren't on the market yet), and as soon as the city found out what was going on they sued. To this day the music is tied up in litigation which means there will be no further reissues."
So this album is very rare.
For all it's cheesiness the soundtrack has gotten under my skin. I first heard it when I was a DJ doing college radio in 1988, before I'd even seen the film. Of course the standout track is Paula E. Sheppard's performance art masterpiece Me And My Rhythm Box, which has appeared in this podcast before.
After years of hoping I'd stumble across a used copy cheap I finally broke down last year and paid $80 for the one presented here. That's why I'm posting it - it's rare, it's expensive, and it's so completely weird you have to hear it to believe it.

Goodnight
A glorious mess to celebrate Gay Pride Month.
"Gay Shame" is all very tongue-in-cheek. Is it gay bashing when a gay man does it? I should ask Dave White.
I started this mix two years ago then shelved it until two days before I posted it. The bulk of it was done in those last 48 hours, and a few rough edges will probably make that obvious. ;)
I love rednecks, trannies, hustlers, dirty bookstores, pnp twinks, punk rock, The Price Is Right, and comedy...especially all swirled together.
