I can’t recall which candy bar it was, but years back there was one such treat that advertised itself as “deep, dark, and delicious.” I’d say that applies here as well–though I will offer you tinges of light as we travel along. And the opening cracks me up every time I’ve listened to it. Hey, if I don’t amuse me, I can’t amuse you.

Chaos. Sometimes leaving things up to chance is a good thing. This time out, I combine a full-library shuffle with me checking what’s playing at random times. The result? Judge for yourself in this uninterrupted, mixed flow.
