Comment:

As promised, the updated version, with even more obscure stuff added. Actually on CD, but I needed more space to list the tracks. This one took a while to put together. All the tracks are ads or otherwise radio-related in some way. "Wrinkles", which is the worst song in the known universe, was included because it tied in so perfectly after the "Snuggles" bit, and because it makes all the other tracks sound that much better by comparison.

Thanks. I got a revision in the pipeline throwing in some more stuff- finally giving in and tossing in some Who, some Firesign Theatre, a couple things I simply forgot about..

super-amazing!
If you can spot anything of mine you'd like in trade for this, I could really use a commercial break . . .
