Holiday Mix Aught-Six

Hello children. Slappy Nude Year to all.

Some of you have received "Holiday Mix Aught-Six" from me. I have received praise from some of you, and I'm glad you like it. For those of you who haven't heard said mix yet, it doesn't have much to do with the holidays. It's more of a personal statement, a "Gee, what a year that was / Hey, wha' happen?" if you will. Each one has a different cover, designed by yours truly and targeted toward each recipient. The above is an example - it was given to a colleague who constantly makes references to strippers, so there you go. And for those of you who read waaaaaaaay too deeply into things, I am not a misogynistic pigheaded fuck, thank you very much.

The tracklist is below. Keep checking this space - I'll add comments to each track in upcoming posts. As I implied above, there is a reason why the mix turned out the way it did. I'm sure you'll all lose sleep until I explain every last little detail.

(By the way, remember that one post where I said that I wasn't going to be long-winded? Well, I lied. Deal with it, children. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.)
