Comment:
A friend of mine recently moved here from China for grad school. In a plea for hyperenculturation, she requested suggestions for American pop cultural texts, including film, tv and music. I decided to make her some cds. Following these initial 3 discs, I grew rather frustrated by blurred genre lines and what to include/exclude. So I made a fourth disc of data including 15 full albums. Hopefully that serves as a nice introduction.Feedback:
Wow, I wish I could talk to my fellow Americans about the stuff on this disc. Very nicely assembled.
Every cut a classic.
