I got a little flustered near the end. I think it's because I checked the stats of the internet stream, and I had a surprising amount of listeners. Also, I forgot that although the Dead Milkmen are adorable punk kids, they are also *punk kids,* and that means that they cuss a lot. I can't play that!

I played a lot of certain artists. Those artists are italicized. Why did I play them so much? Because they are good, and their music is varied enough that I can play half the album and you'd never catch on!

I also played certain songs that I have played at least four or five times before. Again, this is because they are good songs (they are bolded). It has nothing to do with the essay that I have due today. Promise.
