Radio b - The Dance of the Marzipan Pigs It's a very Spring-y sort of day here in Seattle. Since I know so many of you like that type of thing, I thought I'd play some music (which may or may not be Spring-y itself). Coming up at 11 AM PST / 2 PM EST / 1800 GMT.

Also, a warning for those who might need it: there are several prominent f-bombs dropped during track 13. If this might negatively effect your quality of life, you are urged to take the proper precautions.

And now, on with the show.

This music is making me want to go outside. I'm on the verge of pressing my nose up against my office window and pouting at all the people out walking in the sunshine.
