I'm a playlist junkie. I have to make a playlist for everything. I thought it would be cool to share a track (the more unexpectant, the better), from my Great Songs Period. mix. Actually, I had to create a Best of Great Songs Period. playlist because not all of the songs in my Great Songs Period mix are 5 1/2 stars out of 5 stars. They're just 5 stars.
Long story short, each week, I'll try to include a track from my Best of Great Songs Period. Mix. I'll try to recall where I discovered the band. You can do the same and please do rate it to your liking.
This week, I had to go w/ a staple (sorry). The Jesus & Mary Chain aren't a band I've known and loved forever. In fact, I got Automatic from a Lala trade a year or two ago and did the same w/ a gift card iTunes purchase w/ Pyschocandy. "Between Planets" is fantastic -it's upbeat, it has a good hook and most importantly it rolls like no other J&MC song. I almost shelled out $50 to see 'em on their reunion tour in NYC, but I figure they were much better back in the day. I did know of "Head On" from the late 80's but never checked out their other material. "Head On" was on a 120 Minutes Nevermind the Mainstream vol. 1 (or 2) comp. I've owned it forever. One of my favorite comps. Regardless, "Between Planets" now holds a dear place in my rock 'n roll heart. Enjoy and please do comment on your liking (or not) of this fantastic song.

the 120 minute comp is still one that gets a lot of air time on my radio, wish they made em like that still
"Between Planets" blew me away the first time I got Automatic. Such a great song, I still have it on my workout playlist on the iPod.
It's amazing. In the J&MC field, I have Dale to thank. He gave me so much psychocandy.
Never take candy from strangers.
Always take psychocandy from friends :)
Kevin - yeah, there are comps but they will never live up to that Nevermind the Mainstream series. I still remember getting it used for $7.99 at Toad Records in Severna Park, MD, which has been gone for at least 15 years now.
Dale - "Between Planets" is another stand out track, agreed. Interestingly enough, I had J&MC on while working out that inspired this post.
Anna - Dale seems to have that "ear candy" effect on people w/ his tastes, always can trust whatever he throws out there.
Yeah, whatever. Now I've got Automatic up loud on the headphones, in a desperate attempt to stay awake.
