I'd buy that for a dollar!

this is a lot of stuff that I'd either passively (morning benders) or willfully (tame impala) ignored, as I hadn't been grabbed by what I heard, but I'm liking it all together on this mix.

i take it you run?

I do! I ran three miles today before going to the gym. The carribean is a lot hillier that I'd been led to believe, and the roads much narrower, so I've taken it easy on this trip, but I usually have a race on the calendar that I'm gearing up for.

So fwiw, I am all over this monae song, need to pick that up, and this tame impala song is better than I'd been led to believe. It's a good running mix, good job gold star blue ribbon.

that monae record kind of blows my mind, conceptually. i never thought i'd see anyone mashup R&B with fritz lang

yeah she is nuts. I keep having songs come on and I have to look at my ipod to see if it shuffled to something/one else.
