Cool! By providence, I happened to grow up in a Cleaver-like SE MI household that had both a copy of Take Five and Kerouac's On the Road in the same room, just awaiting my independent discoveries spread over the course of five years or so. Kinda like finding hidden treasure!

Bonus points for "Unsquare Dance" by Dave Brubeck.

  Thanks.  My mom is to thank for getting me into Brubeck at a young age.  I was angling for the "unsquare" to fit nicely together with "weird" and "cuckoo"

Thanks guys. I'm glad you're enjoying the mix. I have a copy of it in my car as well, but refrained from playing it while I was on the highway earlier today... didn't want to take any chances.

NWG:

You did a fan-DAMN-tastic job on your CD. And, by golly, I REALLY like it! I can't wait to get on the highway with it playing in my Saab so I can truly experience the mix the way it was created for: THE NEED FOR SPEED!

I've been humming the Theme from "Shaft" all day! Damn, right!

Whoo hoo!

M. is a friend of mine from high school - Margie.  She is the one who taught me that it was OK to sing 4 Non Blondes at the top of my lungs at band camp.

What's on your mix??  I'm dying to know!!

The co-hosts for this month are: Margie, Welly, NWG, & NAF.

Yeah, sure. You're just trying to make me feel better.
 
Perhaps, since you are the founder of this whole thing, I'll send a copy your way too...
 
I'll post my liner notes and CD label art in a little bit. Trying to finish up some work.

You did NOT cop out!  I totally raided the Good Will for those flashcards.  PLUS no hand-written notes. :)  I'm really kind of bummed about not getting a mix from you because I, too, have the need for speed.

Seriously...cover art and liner notes are optional, future co-hosts!  I've just been looking forward to doing this for a long time so I went a little nuts (read: lasso yarn)

Got my mix "tape" today

... not sure who it's from, though

But thanks M., whoever you are !

Who are our co-hosts this month??

I know!  I am SO going to be guilted into putting some real effort into this now!  Before, I was just going to burn some cheesy Richard Marx stuff and play that off like I wasn't really just trying to get everyone else's cool tunes in exchange for some, well, Richard Marx!!!

Bbbut, I see the ones Fishy has done and feel like there's so much MORE I could have done to personalize each of your CDs. I mean, I wrote each of you a nice handwritten note to go with it but still.

Yeah, I think it was the Leonard Cohen sings Duran Duran that really put it over the top
