This was also an excuse to listen to a bunch of random songs that I already know I think highly of rather than work through the backlog of music on my hard drive that needs to be deleted or burned to CD while I finish reading the Pharyngula archives.

Now I'll probably play most of these songs on WNUR tonight. Especially since so many of them turned out to be classics, modern classics, or covers of classics. Funny how out of close to 7,000 songs in my MP3 library, I got two songs each from Against Me! and the Bosstones, though.
