What???  No way!  You hardly had time to do anything but WILL your computer to do your bidding () - besides, the real creativity is in mixing the songs.

At first I worried about going all out, but I've been wanting to do this for YEARS...it kind of grew into its own monster.  So, in 5 months, I probably won't include yarn and shit...but I won't feel guilty about it because the yarn is optional.

I'm just SO happy this thing got off the ground!  Seriously...this idea has been rattling around in my head since 2006.  I couldn't have done it w/out my co-hosts!

Not that I'll be getting one or anything.

And Fishy... Thanks for the compliment, though I hardly think mine "blows yours away" by any stretch of the imagination.
 
EDIT: Mellie Mel! I missed that post. Glad you liked the CD.

Cool! By providence, I happened to grow up in a Cleaver-like SE MI household that had both a copy of Take Five and Kerouac's On the Road in the same room, just awaiting my independent discoveries spread over the course of five years or so. Kinda like finding hidden treasure!

Bonus points for "Unsquare Dance" by Dave Brubeck.

  Thanks.  My mom is to thank for getting me into Brubeck at a young age.  I was angling for the "unsquare" to fit nicely together with "weird" and "cuckoo"

Thanks guys. I'm glad you're enjoying the mix. I have a copy of it in my car as well, but refrained from playing it while I was on the highway earlier today... didn't want to take any chances.
