i started working with a new chef. we open together one or two days a week, which is only two hours or so spent together listening to music of our choice. the past two weeks, i've noticed that both of us are showing up earlier and earlier, trying to beat each other out for the stereo. we like extremely different music, and for me, being the music slut that i am, this is a rather big deal. i'm tired of listening to sublime, slightly stoopid, mtv rap, and "stronger." i'm sure he's tired of ween and mike patton. tomorrow, i'm going to try this out. it's a mix of guilty pleasures, standards, and a few slightly inaccessible hip-hop tracks that i think we will both enjoy. some of it isn't stuff i'd normally post up here or even listen to on a regular basis, but i figured, if i made it, why the hell not put it up here?
