Notes and other random things: I had really hoped to get this mix posted on Friday the 13th. That way, I could write some cutesy little blurb here about luck or no luck or superstitions or safety tips involving black cats and ladders and stuff. But, I missed the midnight deadline. Supposing you're one of those people like me, however, who don't feel as if it's the next day until you physically get in bed and go to sleep for however long, this could still qualify as a Friday the 13th mix. Unfortunately, the time stamp on Podomatic won't ever see it that way.

In regards to the music, I sort of feel like this one is all over the place stylistically. There is nothing wrong with that per se. It's just what came out of my head this week. Leading off is the third song from Propaganda that I've used in my podcasts. If you're paying close attention, only two of them included original lead singer, Claudia Brucken, so for purists it might seem like I've used only two songs from the band. Depeche Mode's "Lie to Me" is one of my favorite, sort-of-unknown tracks by them. It's from their Some Great Reward album. Belgian electro-assassins, Front 242, are very much the epitome of 80s/90s industrial music and are credited as having coined the term EBM (Electronic Body Music), though it is thought Ralf Hutter of Kraftwerk was the first to define the term in 1978. The track here was recorded circa 1983. Technoid is from a long line of New Zone artists who flourished in the Frankfurt dance scene at the turn of the 90s. I included a remix of the classic, all-lawsuit selection "Pump Up the Volume" by M|A|R|R|S. The band was a collaboration between 4AD mainstay A.R. Kane and the band Colourbox. I can't remember how many unauthorized samples appeared in the song, but it was a bunch. Big Audio Dynamite was a product of Mick Jones, once a prominent member of The Clash. I also included a bit of James Bond 007 action with "The Living Daylights" by a-ha, the title track of the film by the same name. With this track, a-ha became the first non-English speaking band to write a Bond theme. The Waterlillies make their second appearance in CRC. If you don't have their album Tempted, get it. Aside from a ridiculous Carpenter's cover of "Close to You" and one other slower tune all the tracks are much like the two you've heard so far. There will be more. Interestingly enough, the last time I put them into an episode Meat Beat Manifesto appeared as well. The Jack Dangers-led outfit makes their reprise appearance with a track from the underrated Satyricon album. And I threw in the classic dance track "Obsession" by a band who could never decide whether or not they wanted to call themselves Xymox or Clan of Xymox. They flip-flopped many times over the years. As much as I love this band, I didn't fall into the same trap. They are filed under "X" in my collection as they always have been and as they always shall be moving forward.
