We're still three weeks away from the official start of the summer, but with temperatures in the '80s and Memorial Day Weekend upon us... close enough. So here's the first of a season's worth of mixes, made just for you. Having a little extra time for this one I redid it multiple times, tweaking here and there, and am pretty happy with what's now before you. Hope you like it.

I just heard Edition 59 , the pop label of German mail order Vollwert Records , will be releasing the entire Biff Bang Pow! and The Laughing Apple back catalog on cd-rs. The singles are in edition of the usual 59 numbered copies while the albums will have 99 numbered copies. Joe Foster will be writing all new liner notes for each album. Looks like the prices will be 7,95 euro for the 33 cd-r singles and 9,95 euro for the albums. This is good to hear as I don't [...]

A fun thought experiment I like to engage in with friends, neighbors, and peers concerns what particular public figures are doing right now, at this moment. Last week on FaCeBoOk, I played "What is Sarah Palin Doing Right Now?" with everyone. Many of my cohorts left decidedly excellent responses - everything from cleaning muskets, to shooting polar bears, to grilling mooseburgers, to Wikipedia-ing "VP," to activities and extracurriculars that I dare not reprint here. Despite my penchant for making cusses every now and again, I try to keep this blog PG-13. Time to play again! What do [...]
"Uh, maybe you've heard of The Battle of Shaker Heights ? Anyone? Hello?" - Tom, refreshing Spike's memory on the early Shia LaBoof classic [More to come.] "I want you to think about Dogmo before you say anything else you might regret at some point, okay?" -- Dr. Fred Meyers, urging caution as Tom enters his Joyspace "And this Gabby from Winnipeg? You just let her go like the instant she didn't fit your needs. This is terrible." -- Dr. Meyers, discovering that Tom is not [...]

Alrite!!! Hello Hello, this post is like those other posts, you know the ones. However, this time we've got a different day, a different animal, and yes, a different synonym for compilation! Oh, and this one's only four songs, cause I'm pretty tired and I only felt like picking four. Enjoy your hump day, and may these song make it a bit better!
