Dear god, it’s been nearly 20 years since I made the first Cool New Music Tape. (Pause for hyperventilation.) And I continue the tradition with a new offering entitled “Quick, Professor, to the Dirigible!” (title courtesy of Anna.)
Update: I changed the songs a bit this weekend. There were two songs I wanted on, so a few got dropped and some got switched around. It flows a lot better now.
