Over the weekend, Gabe and I (HI GABE!!!!!!!!) received one of the coolest presents ever. Our friend Amanda produced a lovely disaster mix for us - "The Silva/Solomon Tsunami Jamboree!" The mix CD is so astounding, not only have I included the playlist below, but I’m also adding some keywords so it gets ranked higher on Google. Tsunami Album. Tsunami Mix. Tsunami Jamboree.
