Archaeological evidence dates domesticated dogs living with Native Americans at least 14,000 years ago. I suspect one day they’ll find evidence going back a lot further. Just a hunch. But until then, here’s to 14,000 years of friendship!

This mix has a special bonus track for dogs (or just people who like frog calls). Play the track for your dog and you should see an interesting reaction.

NOTE: I have a hardware issue I’m working on but until then the drive crunches a bit and so there are a few glitches here and there throughout the mix, but nothing Earth-shattering. If I wait until I fix the problem it will be months before this mix is released, so just releasing as is. It’s not that bad.

Guest DJ Scott: I don’t know about you, but the long distance dedications made me sick to my stomach. Except for the one to Kevin.  That was sweet. Valentine’s Day is really about pain and loathing. I’m talking about unrequited love, unending regret, burning jealousy. In this playlist, we’ll celebrate life’s tragedies. 

So cuddle up with your favorite woobie, grab a box of Kleenex, and listen to some of my favorite agonizing tunes.

Tracklist (click a song title to buy the high quality, DRM-free MP3 from Amazon):

  1. Everything Happens To Me – Chet Baker
  2. It Makes No Difference – The Band
  3. Wild World – Cat Stevens
  4. Cheers Darlin’ – Damien Rice
  5. I Don’t Believe In The Sun – The Magnetic Fields
