This week we start with Monteverdi and the McGarrigles and move on to Hawaii and to the Pirates of the Caribbean. We have songs about hygiene and pie and grooving, we have movie music from Harry Nilsson, we discuss bread, we have powerfully great piano playing by our friend Mike Jones, there's a Beatles cover by those people we like, we have the Mamas and the Papas, and there's even something in there about a kangaroo. Plus still more.
Should we have let our playlist speak for itself? No matter. Here it is. We hope you'll listen. Tell that guy next to you how much you're liking it.
