I'm overwhelmed with music lately. Actual physical 45's, mp3's, CD samplers, local shows, and the random function on the mp3 player have my head swimming. I revert to super music fan mode when life becomes too disheartening and use mixtapes to suss out something to hold onto. So here I am, making a mix again for an imaginary someday.

King Arthur: We thank thee, Lord, that in thy mercy -
[cut off by the Knight kicking him]
Black Knight: Come on, then.
King Arthur: What?
Black Knight: Have at you!
King Arthur: You are indeed brave, Sir Knight, but the fight is mine!
Black Knight: Oh, had enough, eh?
King Arthur: Look, you stupid bastard. You've got no arms left!
Much like the Black Knight, persistence is the key. Keep trying and you wil soon rise to first place on the winning team! Congrats.
