Q: What is more twee and yet haunting than listening to The Smiths? A: Listening to Rockabye Baby! Lullaby Renditions of The Smiths [1]. How can this be this awesome?

So here’s the playlist for my Mefi 2013-2 Swap cd. Linked files are flac (lossless, large, and possibly an issue for non-techie/Windows folks). All tracks downloaded are roughly 450MB so plan accordingly… Commando Spatial :: Orchestre dirige Jacques Dejean avec Virginie Rodin Palladium The Hip :: Liz Brady Fille a la Moto :: Dani Rouge,…
