UNECESSARY, TEDIOUS EXPANSION:

a) I realize that "Kitt 2000" is redundant, but it sounds cooler. And I didn't have a

crush on the car so much as its personality. I can't explain it and I make no

apologies; it's not half as embarrassing as admitting to a crush on Hasselhoff.
b) Because I wanted a challenge, I didn't change the song order. This has created

a few awkward transitions, but I think for the most part, it's okay. I haven't put this

much thought into a mix for quite some time.
3) "The Sun King" - best song about Louis XIV ever
5) I think I prefer most McCartney covers to the original. It's the sheer zest in which

the Finns attack this song that make it so great. And the rhythm piano. The world

needs more rhythm piano.
6) Does 1971 count as old? Actually, the only thing that makes this song sound old

is the production. Jangly AM pop never really goes out of style. (Does it?)
8) Discovered too late that putting the Beatlesque track at the beginning screws up

the seventh 7th song. This was the one I spent the longest on. There are a lot of

terrible 7th songs out there. After scouring my dusty archives, I found this, my

favourite song about desperate cross-dressing. (Sample: "I cross myself and do

my best acid queen/A cross between a dime-store witch and a whirling, painted

Martin Sheen.")
9) I wouldn't say worst album, but definitely worst sounding album. The production

is very tinny. I went with my favourite song off the album, which might not have been

the best choice, mix-wise.
10) From http://www.artofthemix.org/FindAMix/getcontents.asp?strMixID=46293

The Polish Britpop song.
13) B-side of "El Scorcho"
14) From quiet, keyboards-only children's album track to rollicking rock effort,

complete with Flansburgh performing some funky jams on a voice distorter.
15) Capturing the early grunge era X a band I became obsessed with in 12th

grade.
16) I hate (modern) R&B with a passion, as it often eludes what I look for in music: a

little cleverness and a lot of sincerity. But I've always liked this song. The harmonies

rock.
18) Theme from House (full version). I think my all-time favourite theme is

"Having An Average Weekend" by Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet (Kids in the Hall theme), but this fits

better, mix-wise
19) Bought last week. So awesome. Buy it now.
20) From http://www.artofthemix.org/FindAMix/getcontents.asp?strMixID=43949

Sweet, salty goodness.
21) :41
22) November '04. Can't remember the first concert I paid for.

This is great! A labor of love. The kindergarteners I teach love "robot parade," especially because the robots obey what the children say.

looks good, but not too familiar. I thought about not changing the order, but i didn't see that in the rules anywhere. great job.
