[Kevin] The “Sooth-ed” Commuter is a varied, relatively light play list that might be perfect for a morning commute when you’re not really in the mood to go to work. Some days the news is just too much or too stagnated to listen to, the job a ripping pain in your head that you wish you could avoid, and on those days, this mix may help make your morning commute a bit more enjoyable. Or maybe not. Hell, who can tell these things? Not me. But, it’s sure helped me over the last few weeks. Hope it does the same for you.
