My co-worker's last day at the newspaper is tomorrow. As of 4:00, he will basically be homeless and unemployed as he ventures off to start a new life, possibly in a city other than Chicago. This is for him.

Your co-worker's lucky. I wish any of my former co-workers had as good a taste in music as you. The final two songs on side B are perfect!

Hell, I know I've only been here 6 months, but why would anyone leave Chicago? Also, super music! Seriously, nice variety of pop-perfection.
