the holiday season is nearing. this means: mix tapes for my family, a long-run tradition because i work crap jobs and make no money, and also because in my family, we give gifts for every goddamn holiday. who ever heard of halloween and thanksgiving presents? anyway... i've been thinking this one over for a while. it's for my dad. he's a pretty neat guy. these are some songs that he's introduced me to while we were having "sarah and jerry time" through the years. some i've loved. some, not so much... but here's a little collection i came up with for him to kick back to, relax to, maybe smoke a little... after all, being an accountant is a fairly stressful and unforgiving job.......
tracklist
| 1 | Alan Parsons : The Three of Me |

| 12 | Lyle Lovett : Church |

alright, so lyle lovett isn't exactly my cup of tea. but his lyrics are genius and i actually can handle playing a few songs at a time because they make me laugh so goddamn hard. this one's about a southern preacher who eats a dove during service. classic.

The Bronze Badge
My dad listens to most of this stuff already..... So how will it make him feel young and hip? No one at my school listens to this, hence, he would feel like an outsider.

There is some pretty good stuff on here. ++ just for Bela Fleck & the Flecktones - Victor Wooten is an incredibly badass bass player
