Very cool, Rob. Agreed with p on that Slayer track (Less Than Zero=a great soundtrack). The Roots through Maria McKee stretch looks particularly awesome to me.

Plays okay in my head, especially that closing pair. Already gave you my approval of the MoB, Deee-lite, Nina Simone & the latest from the Lips. What will you do after that Boris disc gets dries up?

yep to loads of this, but I cannot imagine that transition from Nina to Slayer . . . (The Roots are a current fave of mine).

REeally dig the opner and closer. And the stuff in the middle ain't so bad either. The Spark-Nina-Slayer run is one of the strangest threesomes I've seen in a while.
