Monkey Mix 2.0

"One monkey don't stop no show!"

Added some tracks to the Monkey Mix today; the kids love to listen to this thing, and for some reason Julia loves the Dave Bartholomew track that is really the progenitor of the whole thing. The Sly & Robbie track samples that original track, and the kids love to listen for that track. Elvis Costello mentions the song in his track (the kids miss this reference).

I added some covers: The Beatles covering the Chuck Berry track, and Phish covering "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey" by The Beatles, which I can't believe didn't make it on here originally. Also added tracks by Chuck Prophet, Gorillaz, Devandra Banhart. These last few tracks came from the collections of my buddies Greg and Joshua.

posting a comment and you pay the price: the music stops.

but here, with this absolute garbage of an internet connection, it's stop, start, stop, start, anyway.

when it works for a few seconds, it's pretty cool. What does this do?
