Radio Mecha - Music Box Hiya. Here I am on the Radio Mecha. Making it up as I go along. Please listen, if you're so inclined. Or, better yet, suggest a theme or a genre or a direction or something. Because I'm making it up as I go along.

I suggest songs about pork. No reason. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

For you, pup, I'll see what I can do.

So far:
Dadawah - Burning Drums
Ras Michael and the Sons of Negus - Keep Cool Babylon
Cedric Brooks - Sattamassagana
Count Ossie - Air Horn Shuffle

And next up, a song about pork.

Songs about pork:

Walt Dickerson Quartet - Bacon and Eggs
A Tribe Called Quest - Ham 'n' Eggs
E-40 f Outkast and Goodie MOB - Ham Sammiches and Coup Devilles
Jimmy Castor - Ham Hocks Espagnol

Any other suggestions? Because I'm quickly approaching songs about porkpie hats and porcupines and cops and whatnot.

box? Your collection of songs with pork in them is pretty awesome. I was going to tune out, as I'm replaying Icewind Dale, and I'm three levels down and kickin' ass. I can't 'cause I want to hear what come up next. (I'd suggest Papa's Got A Brand New Pigbag, if you had it.) How about songs about trips?

Box you should do a set with songs from and inspired by The Wire.
