I've been subbing for Truffle Shuffle the past couple of weeks (Thursday mornings, 6-8am PST). This show generally plays indie rock, but I always find myself slipping weird little tunes in there. Keeps me on my toes in that early morning.

I found loads of songs listed in an e-mail draft; I think this is two shows combined. In fact, I know this is two shows combined, because there were lots of repeats. I've deleted the any redundancies, so now, here you go, 4 hours of early morning subbing condensed into 3 hours of solid music blocks.
