Week 42:: Bye-Bye Bishkek

After 2 months abroad, it's finally time for me to pack it up and fly back to the states. Actually, my plane leaves in just a few hours, and thanks to the magic of spherical terrain, lands on the same day, 26 hours later. But this is not a web-radio-blog about my travels; it's about the music, silly. So what changes? Basically nothing. We're back to Jazz (as I missed it and ran out of excuses), but with the serene setting of a night spent nostalgically packing to leave.

I did throw in one topical dose of celebration at the end, but neglected to mention (in audio) that this was in tribute to my best friend's birthday. So just to set the record straight, "Balls" is dedicated to Davey.
