Whoa! The Summer '09 Random Mix!
/Soon after geeting home yesterday from a brutally exhausting but fun day at the Queens Zoo/New York Science Hall (pics of which will be posted either tonight or tomorrow) I received a text message from Indie Maven Sean: it was time for another Random iPod Mix! It's been too long since the last time the gauntlet was thrown, so a quick summary of the rules:
Simply shuffle the entire contents of your iPod or applicable digital media player, and let 'er rip until you have enough music for an 80 minute CD.
- No skipping tracks or altering the sequencing - it is what it is. The only time you're allowed to skip a track is if the artist has already been represented in the mix, in which case you MUST take the next track.
And that's about it - time to take it to the stage! For the record, I'm using an iPod Classic with 14,508 songs:

* After a brief discussion I was allowed one omission: Ancestors' "Neptune With Fire" which clocked in at over 22 minutes. Other than that, this is what came out.
