The Signal: EP063 music for tough guys and tough streets! But! Even though they hold uzis... every once in awhile this crummy world makes 'em cry! And they're not afraid to cry! Heck no! But they do bust every one of those tears in the chops! So they don't get any ideas!

Okay, enough exclamation points. It's the usual deal, good people. File's available for a limited time. Track list is in the id3 tags. Notes are behind the cut... unless you followed a link here, in which case, here are the notes:

Follow up:

1. It's kind of a strange joke to use music from a comedy album and no actual comedy from that album. It makes me laugh, anyway. Also: don't listen to rock music!

2. Whoah! Heavy sounds! I've been talking these guys up recently to many of you, but did you know this is totally my favorite song of theirs? I like it so much that I included it in this mix even though there are two minor glitches in the file. I tried to fix 'em, but ... eh. It's not at 100%, though it's better than it was. I have a glitch-free copy too, but it doesn't sound as good.

3. More from Japan! I know we got a lot of this the last time out, but I'm still absorbing all that music.

4. How did I miss this album last year? Solid stuff! Lala has the instrumentals, too, which are great all on their own.

...

6. From Nigeria! From bands that were listening to Americans like Santana and Jimi! Bought while on an outing with a (minor) celebrity! Good memories with this one.

7. A remix by a producer that I've started hearing more and more good stuff from.

8. A different remix by a different producer that I've been hearing good stuff from.

...

10. Look up the name of this artist. There's a whole associated project. It makes for a neat story.

...

12. This guy reminds me of Tom Jones. I just get a big smile listening to this track. Cheesy, but great!

...

15. This track's a heart-breaker, isn't it? I thought it was great to close a mix. Can you believe that it actually opens the album that it's on? Quite a tone to set.

That's all I got, party people. I hope it's enough.

As a sneak preview, I'm collaborating on a new mix with Emcee Child, who helped create the epic EP050! We're somewhere around 50% done. It's going to be HUGE! Like, as huge as if the Green Giant got it on with the Empire State Building and had a giant vegetable-building child... as big as that child! But, uh, not quite as weird or terrifying as the product of that union.

You know what, forget I said anything.
