Comment:

So, for this group I'm part of, I had to come up with some example of music I like. Of course I'm not content to just bring in an album by one band, so I decided to make a mix. The premise of the mix being that my favorite kind of music is cabaret-carnival-gypsy-klezmer-punk. The title comes from the Firewater song.

LOVE that first Tom Waits track. Can't say I'm too familiar with much else here, but if it keeps up the mood of Kommienezuspadt, then it's gotta rock.
