SAM CDS 2

Happy New Year everyone!

Way back in May of last year I posted some of the covers and track listings for compilation CDs I've been making my fiancee Dr. Sam Abraham every month. Since then I've made quite a few more, so I thought I'd share. As I said before: Most of the music listed below is available online at the usual places, but Amazon Instant Download and the original artist's sites are the best ways to get them. Support music by buying some of these songs if you like em!

The first compilation featured here has a cover that parodies a story in The Onion:

 

Here's a few more I made during 2014:

 

 

The Ska collection below I honestly believe is the best Ska compilation ever made. I challenge anyone to make a Ska CD better:

 

The latest compilations feature band theme songs. The songs have to have the bands' name in the title of the track or they have to say the name of the band in the chorus...

Watch for future updates in the months to come!

For your health!

Met Mr. Dewey Cox... aka the great John C. Reilly... at The Polyphonic Spree show in Los Angeles! He insisted on taking a selfie with Sam and me:

Got engaged today!

XOXOXO to my wife to be Sam Abraham

SAM CDs

Mix tapes may be a thing of the past, but the last dying art of musical romance isn't the cassette, it's the Mix CD. Most cars still have CD players. Sure an ipod mix might serve the same purpose over a greater number of songs, but CD mixes are a nice way to show your love in 74 minutes or less. Here are some I made for my girlfriend Sam over the last few months. I'm posting them here today in honor of her passing her defense and becoming a DOCTOR OF ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY at UCLA!!! Most of the music listed below is available online at the usual places, but Amazon Instant Download and the original artist's sites are the best ways to get them. Support music by buying some of these songs if you like em!
