Mike Presents: Music What is Good

The original title for this mix was "Falling, Floating, Flying, Farting" and it was going to end with a three minute track of fart noises. I decided the mix worked better with a little less focus on theme. You're welcome.

Casey Presents: Now My Helmet's On

After sharing the Gorillaz track "Superfast Jellyfish" on Google Reader wherein De La Soul raps about a fictional breakfast cereal whose jingle is sung in the chorus by Super Furry Animals front man Gruff Rhys, Andrew asked me to create for him a mixtape full of nerdy rap songs. These are all nerdy songs. Most of them have rapping, the rest have some tenuous hip-hop connection but could not stand to not be included.

1) DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince - Human Video Game
2) MC Frontalot - You Got Asperger's
3) Q Tip - Gettin' Up (SPLASHWOMAN Mega Man 9 Remix)
