april, come she will

Saw Josh over the weekend--even played the part of the generous dad and bought him blank CDs so he could burn and mail his April compilation, which he says is a little edgy. Look for The Fugs, among others.

Thirty or forty years ago would any of us thought we'd have a kid listening to music like that?!?!?!?

I started a bd club with some of my friends, and they've been sending out the cds sans playlist so that the recipient has to listen for awhile and be suprised before getting the artists and tracks. I thought it would be interesting to do that with this group. I don't know if this is how I like things to be done all the time, but I wanted to try it out.

I think the tracks speak for themselves, more or less.

P.S. If you're ever in Lawrence make sure to stop by Love Garden for CD's or Vinyl, they've been supplying me with the good stuff lately. MMMMMMMM.

I love the juxtaposition of some of the songs you included. Enjoyed.
