Lineup note
Deep shelf drift

Through These Eyes by Social Distortion off White Light White Heat White Trash (1996) belongs here because Extend the feeling that follows Houses in Motion (Live at Werchterpark Festival, Belgium) by Talking Heads without sounding automatic.. All Day And All Of The Night is waiting as the answer, so this record is doing more than setting a mood; it is shaping the turn.

Track context
White Light White Heat White Trash · 1996

Through These Eyes comes through with a steady shoulder-roll and punk rock around the edges, giving the sequence a 1990s depth instead of a quick disposable hit. The crowd response around Me And Mrs. Jones by Billy Paul suggests listeners are leaning toward texture and detail, not just impact.

Listen for
What to catch in the room

Listen for how All Day And All Of The Night answers the color and pressure of the current record instead of simply matching its tempo. The real hook is in how the punk rock grain keeps glowing even as the transition opens up.

I Knew The Bride into Summertime

I Knew The Bride by Dave Edmunds off Sounds Of The Seventies - Punk And New Wave (1993) belongs here because Summertime by Miles Davis and Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin provide a sharp two-step that extends the feeling of Can I Sit Next to You Girl by Ac/Dc without sounding automatic. They keep the emotional pressure steady, change the color from 2000s into 1950s for Summertime, and maintain hard rock with Dazed and Confused.. Summertime is waiting as the answer, so this record is doing more than setting a mood; it is shaping the turn.
