Another of the songs that didn't fit into this mix (because it was opinionated and difficult . . .)

Mm. That song goes in a related playlist, though I'm not sure yet what the theme will be. It will also contain a different Hungry Lucy song (Telltale Shot), and perhaps "Machine Gun" by Portishead.

I did notice that "Wuthering Heights" wasn't there, but that's more a general gothic romance... maybe it would fit with the other three songs above. It's a decision with which I agree.

I wanted this one on the classical mix, but I wasn't sure I could convince anyone else that it was an angry reverse Orpheus-and-Eurydike. It works just as well as a Fury.

ooh.

On second thought, "Sex Spider" is a little too light for this mix. Once it goes into 30+ song territory, then it's legitimate, but if you're going standard 14-20 range, no.

I don't think I had an original copy of "Love Cats" anymore (except on cassette), I do have a cover by Pilori which is interesting and strange, and a cover by Tricky which is pretty much sex on electronic media.

My first Cure song was from that album as well - "Head on the Door" and I discovered T.S. Eliot and Edward Gorey through the same book.

So I leave with another song I negelected to mention: "Unsaid Warning" by t.h.c. / George Sarah:

And now you say there's a devil flying through your head and it looks like me;
when you took my hand, you ripped my heart, bound my life and bled my dream.
So, sure I'll be the devil flying through your head.
