Comments

Guns N' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle

Keep it, and at the beginning.

Les Savy Fav - Who Rocks the Party

Mixed reviews. I want to try it again, but next time don't put it so close to the beginning. Can't follow something like Welcome to the Jungle.

Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain

Too long, but well-liked.

Tight Phantomz - Ninja Talk

Ignored. Remove.

The Flaming Lips - Kim's Watermelon Gun

A crowd-pleaser. Keep.

Scissorfight - Blizzards, Buzzards, Bastards

Too quiet; normalize. Also didn't fit here. Consider replacing.

Wesley Willis - Casper the Homosexual Friendly Ghost

Well-liked. Keep.

DVDA - Now You're a Man

Keep, but shorten.

Big Black - Precious Thing

Remove.

Suicidal Tendencies - Institutalized

Remove.

Wack Ass Egyptians - Rub Your Legs Like a Cricket

Keep.

Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right

Keep. Ooooh man, keep.

The Vandals - I've Got an Ape Drape

I think keep. Probably.

Green Jelly - Chewbacca, What a Wookie

Keep. Maybe make it longer, if I can.

Anal Cunt - Tim is Gay

Either keep or replace with another AC song. Keep AC, though.

Turing Machine - Don't Mind If I Don't

Replace with The Doodler because it's shorter and has more of a beat.

AC/DC - TNT

Doesn't fit here; move closer to Welcome to the Jungle.

Matt Burns - Howard Dean - Unchained

Keep.

Trans Am - I Want It All

Good transition; keep.

Einstürzende Neubauten - Negativ Nein

Remove.

Underworld - Dark and Long Train

Keep.

Front Line Assembly - Comatose (Grisha Mix)

Keep. Remove the end part with the lyrics.

Front 242 - Religion (Bass Under Siege)

Keep. Normalize.

Rottendam Terror Corps - Sieg Heil Kanker Zwarten

Keep.

Daft Punk - Around the World

Keep.

Benny Benassi - Satisfaction (Radio edit)

Keep.

Fischerspooner - Sweetness (Mike Burns edit)

Cool song, not hated, and works well followed by Mmmm Skyscraper I Love You.

Underworld - Mmm Skyscraper I Love You

Keep.

Fatboy Slim - Fucking in Heaven

Keep, but: too long and remove the final spoken words.

Astral Projection - Kabalah

Keep, follow by Two Months Off.

Flying Lizards - Money

Put elsewhere, but keep.

Underworld - Rez & Cowgirl

Keep.

Aphex Twin - Windowlicker

Undecided. Breaks the mood, but could be useful for when the mood has become too repetitive.

Front Line Assembly - Big Money

Remove.

Revolting Cocks - Beers, Steers + Queers (Mike Burns edit)

Keep.

Devo - Jocko Homo

Remove. More of a crowd favorite than a good party song.

Hot Butter - Popcorn

Keep.

Kompressor - Kompressor Does Not Dance

Keep.

I might move many songs to a separate "Favorites" disc, with just often requested or funny songs.

By the next release I hope to mix the techno songs and provide a better transition between the rock songs.

Also, it should be noted that CD-RWs will not play in CD players, but CD-Rs will. I need to buy some CD-Rs.
