Comment:

In 1982, I bought the newly published "Catalog of Cool," edited by Gene Sculatti. Sculatti's book celebrated cool (in music, literature, cinema, and everything else) as a quality that transcended style, era, and medium. This CD is a twentieth birthday compilation of a few of the artists and songs heralded by Sculatti and his guest editors.

This looks absolutely fantastic, Mark. When I finally send off your mixes, we'll have to negotiate to include this in our (smaller) second trade...

Don't see Joe King Carrasco pop up often on this site. That's cool.
