Glice fails to mention, or perhaps fails to notice, that I was at least a little creative in my Bowie track choice. 1) I used a track that's probably not played a lot, i.e., not from Ziggy Stardust et cetera but from Let's Dance, a minor work but one that has, in my lazy opinion, some (gasp) fun tracks, one of those being "China Girl"--and 2) on this tape I took the liberty of slowing the cut waaayyyy down via the turntable pitch control--down to the last notch, in fact--so that it almost sounds like Iggy Pop on qualudes. You hear Bowie really drawing the words out, and the beat is slow and heavy and lumbering. I thought it was a cool effect.

I also worked pretty hard at lining up tracks that mirrored one another or lead into one another in logical ways.

Even though Mr. Glice apologizes for not liking my tape, I have to admit, it does bother me that he calls me "lazy" about making the tape. I was one of the first to enthusiastically embrace Pookie's idea for a mix tape exchange, and I would not have contributed any tapes if I thought I were only going to work on them in a half-assed manner.
