Happy Birthda(d) 4/20

For those of you who aren't intimately acquainted with my life, I make my dad mix tapes (code for CDs) for all major holidays, instead of giving him presents. Because he's up on beat culture and I do a fair amount of talent scouting for his class on media studies. This year's was a particular hit. A little new, a little old, some indie fad bands. I'll post individual song reviews later, maybe. He's 65 now.
