Nobody can stop the music

[cyrano]

I am nearing completion on half a dozen different mix discs. Further updates later. There's one, though...
You know that scene in the movie where the kids are sitting around the Malt Shop enjoying their sodas and talking about wholesome subjects when the Bad Boy and his entourage saunter in, and he puts his transistor radio on top of the jukebox full of Pat Boone and Doris Day and starts playing That Music and suddenly the kids can't tell right from wrong?
Yeah, it's a mix disc of the station on that transistor radio. In fact, the working title of the CD is 'Trouble at the Malt Shoppe'.
But my problem is that most of the songs that fall into that category are like a minute and a half long. I have about twelve minutes of material right now. It reminds me a lot of working the punk rock show on KBVR--I pretty much spent the entire time frantically cueing up a new record on the second turntable before the track on the first turntable finished.

I am a bad Jake. I have promised you several songs for probably some of those mixes and I have never delivered any of them. Next time you see me on AIM, tackle me and make me give you music. Also, I think I have the Yaz greatest hits disc but it is not ripped yet.

I'm pretty sure you've provided at least some of them!
I have Matt Nathanson on the Spy Plane album which I'm pretty sure is yours, and I suspect the Foo Fighters on Prince in a Can is also yours.
But I will tackle you anyway, because it's fun.
(One of these days I'll get around to actually spending money on You And Me Both.)

The greatest hits disc was my replacement for both of the original Yaz albums, which went with the Psycho in his half of the record collection when we broke up lo these many years ago. Damn, do I miss the other half of our record collection.

And I know I've got some more Prince and U2 stuff that I promised you. I even wrote down what it was somewhere.
