I'd ... http://www.papercoversrock.net/wordpress/archives/160 Last week jefitoblog ran a Pocket Guide to the Hooters, and perusing it took me all the way back to like grade school. Before the jefitopost, I couldn't have named a song by the Hooters. So why the time-travel?

I'd hoped for something a little more ambitious this week, maybe another mix, but had to scale down. And anyway, there's an old song that's been on my mind a bit lately.
