Ditto, ditto, ditto - the second half is especially great; love the inclusion of the Cramps too.

So, you made the CD cover out of PBR case. What did you do with the beer???
Another fine fix here.

this is a really good mix. 18 wheels is such a good song, and johnny cash covering nick cave is quite nice as well.
