hey everybody, how yall doing today?  great stuff.  its mixtape time again.  so off we go.

cd20 (devil's advocate)

01. ac/dc – hells bells

02. credence clearwater revival – bad moon rising

03. the charlie daniel’s band – the devil went down to georgia (1st half of song)

04. ac/dc – highway to hell

05. black sabbath – iron man

06. hootie and the blowfish – running from an angel

07. green day – boulevard of broken dreams

08. incubus – are you in?

09. van halen – runnin’ with the devil

10. counting crows – friend of the devil

11. queen – we will rock you

12. blue oyster cult – don’t fear the reaper

13. queen & david bowie – under pressure

14. the charlie daniel’s band – the devil went down to georgia (2nd half of song)

15. the format – give it up

16. jimmy eat world – futures

 

with the sound of the bells (01) we, the reader, come to the conclusion that something bad is imminent (02).  that’s right, the devil is on a mission (03).  he starts his journey down south leaving a path of destruction (04).  meanwhile, a once hero (05) feels unwanted.  on his new mission, he feels that his way is wrong and starts to doubt his path (06).  right when he is down to his lowest point (07), he runs into the devil.  the devil invites him on his journey (08).  now that our evil-doers are on their way (09), they are starting to get more acquainted with one another (10).  so, our not-so-heroic heroes have finally made it to georgia, where he finds johnny.  here, the devil feels so cocky, that he just talks his head off (11).  johnny, however, feels confident because he knows there’s no reason to be afraid of the devil (12).  he feels fine until its his turn, where it all heats up (13).  luckily, though, he makes it out on top (14).  now, the devil and his comrade feel the tragic sense of defeat and hang their heads in detest (15), but the boy leaves the open invitation for all of eternity (16).

hm...
I don't really get the inclusion of the last two songs. "I Wanna Be Sedated" isn't so much a downbeat song, and I don't really see it as a moping song. Sure, it's complaining about wanting to get out of a place and do something interesting, but I think that says more about bored and apathetic teenagers than defeated and detested demons. Also, I don't really see why "Futures" closes the album. I mean, I'll give you kudos for using an opening song to close the album, but I just don't think it makes sense in the context of your mix.

I also think it would have been more coherent and just plain cooler if you would have gone with the classic rock aesthetic all the way through, leaving out the more modern pop in favor of the raw grit and devilish power of 60/70's rock.

i updated to the format, but im leaving futures because theres always belief of what the future holds in store.
p.s. id have loved to be able to stick to just 60/70's rock, but i didnt have enough that fit to be able to make the story. sad, but true
