Comment:

Well, rather than rip off Terry and Rob again, I decided to devise my own moniker for a mix with no real purpose except to spread the gospel of our own musical tastes. Looking back, it seems that I was still coming down from my venture with Cliff that wrapped up last week. In any case, there was a day a few days ago when Pandora and KDHX both played the title track here, so it seemed as good a sign as any to make a mix featuring the song. Then when I saw the perfectly misspelled tribute to the man on El Tri's (nTe Three Souls in My Mind) third album and it took off from there

Love that Acid House Kings track. I even know a few of the others. That cartoon makes me wince (I think you can tell it's not Kathryn commenting.)

I put together all that I have (which is 12 tracks), and listened to as much of it as I could, and you know what? I'm guessing that this is wonderful. Even if half of it is incomprehensible to us non-translators.

Love the Hendrix, Cohen, Caribou, SFA, and Solomon Burke tracks and have to hear the Thompson (I'm assuming) cover.

Yes, this shows that a certain someone has wonderful taste in music. Your taste in cartoons however is a bit disturbing.
