Comment:

The title is a reference to a joke from Tom Scharpling's The Best Show on WFMU. There's no Van Morrison actually on this, but several tracks have the kind of horns and bluesy feel that I tend to associate with him. Whatever. It makes sense to me.

This is definitely one of my weirder mixes, since I blended tons of older classic stuff with assorted tracks released last year.

But if nothing else, I'm glad I demonstrated that The Go! Team and Elton John go pretty well together.
