That's pretty fuckin' random - but gotdamn those Long Beach Dub All-Stars and the Clueless OST anyway.

I know - I kept wanting to cheat 'cuz they were right beside Fred Eaglesmith.

I'd listen to ALL of those mixes! And, dude...Julie London? I love it!

Yeh, I like that mix with Julie London on it. Lemme know if you'd like one (or more) of 'em burned for you - could also mix-and-match whichever songs you want most.

Really? Sweeeeet! I'll take the one with Julie on it. You can YSI it if you'd like or I can give you my home address -- whichever method is easiest for you.
