I was perusing the internets, looking at various pornography, when I decided to stop by the ol' MTC. Seeing there was a NEW!! contest, I decided I would actually enter at a decent time.

I smoked a bowl, watched some Planet Earth (the Caves episode), then wrote in a three-ring binder the tracklist and a little description. A few changes were made.

That's right, I planned ahead.

So, here it is.

tracklist

1 Ween : I'm Dancing in the Show Tonight
Fountains of Wayne played before Ween at Bonnaroo. During 'Stacy's Mom', they were practically boo'd offstage, due to "WEEN" chants. Why the fuck was Fountains of Wayne at Bonnaroo?

"Her Majesty" was the song that made me truly humble as an artist. The fuckin' Beatles wrote a song that lasted 25 seconds and was better than anything I'd ever written.

Good Mix, btw :P
