Comment:

Hi. My name is Robin. And I'm addicted to Wav Lab. (Hi Robin.)

This one is chock full of sound effects... if the back cover copies okay, it'll make more sense. But basically the storyline goes like this. Person gets into car and switches on radio... flips through stations and finds WKRP. WKRP plays the Cure (trust me, it not only flows, but foreshadows cuz it's a really morbid song. However, I couldn't imagine listening to it all the way through every time I put this disc in, so this person switches the station mid-song... and finds the Cult. Blah blah blah...every time the format changes, there's tuning effects. To make a long story short... the person gets into a car accident and dies, hence the bonus track by Over the Rhine. All the songs have radio in the title, radio as a theme, or mention radio in some way in the lyrics.

I'm off to my geeks anonymous meeting now.

Goddamn. It's the carefully planned out mixes like this which make my own ones (where I just whack an assortment of songs together) look inadequate. This is strangely inspired.
