Comment:

Two birds with one stone: A very belated house-warming mix of sorts for Jennifer, who moved to Detroit back in August, and also for Matt, who requested a mix with track 17 on it (and left me to my own devices on the rest).Essentially just another meandering pop/rock mix, really. Title appropriated from my (four year old) son, who is fond of telling me, "I'm going to be a clown when I blow up."

cool title, great-lookin' mix... but I had no idea that there is still such a thing as people moving to Detroit.
