You Know You've Been Watching Too Much Babylon 5 When...
(CD mix)

This was originally a tape mix I made in July 1997, when Babylon 5 was then in the middle of its 4th season. I was inspired by the realization that many songs having nothing whatsoever to do with Babylon 5 nonetheless reminded me of phrases, themes, and quotes from the show. For example, Oingo Boingo's song "No One Lives Forever" contained the line "Let's have a party / There's a full moon in the sky / It's the Hour of the Wolf / And I just want to die"-- The Hour Of The Wolf being an 4th season episode title. To clarify how each song is related to B5, each is preceded by a sound clip from the show. The "YKYBWTMB5W" CD mix is a cleaned-up and slightly-abbreviated version of the original tape mix, re-editing some parts and cutting out a couple of the lesser songs that didn't fit.

All of the "sound clip" tracks and some of the songs are downloadable here in MP3 format. (Many of the songs have been deleted because of excessive bandwidth usage on this account, mostly by people downloading them after finding them with search engines, as opposed to by reading the actual text of these pages. Sorry!)
