Day 17: “In Eldorado town there lives a great bullfighter” – Play something from the southern hemisphere. The warmer the better.

Jorge Ben - África Brasil

The warmest southern hemisphere country represented in my collection is definitely Brazil. (Although, if I'm honest, Portuguese messes with my brain a little by being close enough to Spanish and Italian that I always feel like I should be understanding more than I can.)

A Guide To The Birdsong Of South America

This is a pretty cool electronic project. Birdsongs were recorded and mixed in the tracks by various artists from South America. There is also one for Central America.

Day 13: “I need a unit to sample and hold”

King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King

My apologies if this one was already played! I'm not a huge hip hop guy so I know very few samples off the top of my head.

Day 14: “I had a dog and his name was King”

Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle

Still no dog of my own, but here's my sister's pooch I helped raise when he was a little guy. (He's a massive guy now.)

Day 15: “Got mashed potatoes, ain’t got no T-Bone”

Simon & Garfunkel - Bookends

"Wish I was an English muffin
'Bout to make the most out of a toaster
I'd ease myself down
Comin' up brown
I prefer boysenberry more than any ordinary jam
I'm a "Citizens for Boysenberry Jam" fan"
