Blecch!

I started this pick with one song each of Balance and Lindsey Buckingham. I used to play thos songs at a bar I DJ'd at in the 80's. They were the mix to songs or the mix from songs. Most people have little idea that a DJ at a bar is not supposed to kepp you dancing non-stop. He's supposed to help sell drinks. So you get people to dance hard for several songs and then switch it completely around so they are sweaty and thirsty and get a drink whil you rile up another group to dance. Rock to Country, Country to Disco etc, etc. This pick has nothing to do with that strategy, but those two songs were ones I used to transition and I liked them. I've been listening to a bit of Iggy, so Ryuichi made it here. M (Robin Scott) and Murray Head were put in because I was looking at remixes (because of Iggy) and the rest kind of fell into place. The Mad Magazine nod with the title and Alfred E Neuman came out of the ether. No one knows how or why, especially me. But there it is. I changed the order of this one so many times and exchanged songs a few times as well. But the ones above stayed in.
