This mix turned quite eclectic–there’s some classic funk, jazz, modern soul, hiphop, classical, rock, new wave, folk, punk, Brazilian music, and whatever Captain Beefheart is. It was fun to make, that’s why it ended up so long, I couldn’t stop.

I’ll get more obscure in later artist mixes; I want to introduce everyone to the joyous Danger Mouse before the Beck/DM album drops, for example. But for now, [...]
