Answer: Because I am a sick person. And also because you really need to hear this shit!

4. Mr. Poncho was onto this guy way before I was, but now that I own Golden Hits from 1965 I'm bought and sold.

Don't forget the CONTEST!!!
Love the tunes! Divshare, though = extremely delayed gratification.
Thank you, Anonymous. It's true, this is too slow. All suggestions welcome! Otherwise it's back to yousendit.com and the one-week expiration date on all the tunes.
I visit your blog often. Just wanted to let you know I enjoyed your posts this morning!
Props!
I picked up "Joe Cocker!" at the library this week. Joe's take on "Dear Landlord" is great. -- Tim
