My pal Jamie’s doing a music exchange — burn a CD with your favorite songs of all time on it, send it to everyone on the list, you know the drill.

I've been toying with this idea for a long time. I suppose i should get with it. Will you burn both CDs for everyone?
Yeah. I shoulda just done one but I couldn't cut it down that far.
I'm only up to K and i already have 54 tracks. Ugh.
