This is the second installment of my Memorial Day mix, which will happen every, um, Memorial Day. Take a look back at last year's mix here (sorry, the mp3s no longer work...can't just leave them up forever!). We Knox Roadians hope you're all having fantastic Memorial Day weekends.

For those who care, Suh's new song "Give Me Heart" will be featured on the February [...]
So I'm sort of a fan of movie soundtracks as I've said before and part of the reason for that is that I often find some of the best songs by the greatest artists by way of soundtrack compilations. Something I don't know if I've mentioned before though is that I have a ginormous size crush on John Cusack (who J swears is the reason why I won't marry him) and will watch ANY movie in which he

"I don't know why, but you are the light on my shoulder." It always surprises me the music I can stumble upon and fall in love with instantly.
