Songs of the Day

This one's a bit of a special post. I decided to take advantage of some of last.fm's library radio stations with some folks who have some jammin' libraries. These songs are all songs I heard and liked a helluva lot. I couldn't decide which I wanted to feature as a representative, so they're all here. To keep this short-ish, I'll axe my usual ramblings.
