Around Christmas 2006 I made a trio of mix CDs because it’d been a while since I made any. I had a pretty good stash of songs lying around, so things were looking up. This one started from culling through the sets of songs I was most pleased with from the previous summer and sprinkling in new ones as required. It of course changd a lot in the process, but the result is one I am almost perfectly happy with. This one is probably my most easily likable mix and has a good mix of fast and slow.

Originally aired at Midnight, Monday November 6, 2006 on CFMU.
Originally meant to air July 24, 2006.. almost 3 and a half months late is better than never, huh?
The chance to actually get this baby on the air was afforded to me by me going on a lovely trip to Toronto to see that lovely band The Decemberists. Big ups to Marco for making sure it got on the air… unlike in the summer when the show before it never got on the air during my actual timeslot, so it never had a chance. The audio bits were recorded around August 3rd.

And get this! the mp3 is (at least for now) APS; so you can hear my beautiful voice at high quality.
