Episode #97: The Things People Do

You may have noticed over most of the past five or six shows that I'm experimenting with shorter time windows of material on a per-episode basis. For example, this episode is fully comprised of songs that came out between 1975 and 1977. I think it's a more cohesive experience and totally not an example of my OCD nature with paperwork. Not at all. Today's episode contains funk and soul workouts and as little disco as possible, though inevitably a little bit got through.
