Magic Whistle Radio Hour 18

Things I've collected over the years or acquired on mixtapes and comps or gathered from the internet, the library, my parents' house, let's say all over the place. I make no claims to "discovering" or "owning" anything and neither do you. It's whatever I feel like playing that week. Things that may or may not be familiar. Who knows. Past weeks here too. Just click on this for the previous 18.
