Comment:

The last word of the title of each song links with the first word of the next song - and the whole tape forms a circle (conveniently, on the word "round"). The title is, of course, a palindrome. It's a Latin phrase I ran into in Greil Marcus' "Lipstick Traces" and means "we turn in a circle in the night and are consumed by fire." (Some cheating involved...)

very cool. I'd been planning one with the same idea for a while, but the beginning/ending on 'round' is definitely better than whatever would've wound up on mine. great mix of artists, as well.
