OMG! Run, get milk and bread and water. Wear your battery-powered heated socks and thermal underwear, because central heating just won’t do the trick… it’s snowing in Georgia. I grew up in the midwest- spent most of my childhood in Michigan, where snow drifts got to be twice or trice my height (often leading to opportunistic sledding), so the dusting of snow that the weather service has threatened Atlanta with today bears little consequence for me. But, for those of you NOT aware of Atlanta traditions, if the weather is at all wintry, Atlantans MUST go out and clear the bread, water and milk shelves from every available grocer. It’s as if they don’t realize that the weather will clear tomorrow or the day after, and the “snow” will melt, and deliveries will get through, and there WILL be bread and milk and water then. And if that fails, your can be sure that McDonalds will be open, and the poor minimum-wagers that work there will have found a way to get themselves in to work. So, why all the fuss now?

That little diatribe dispatched, we can move on to the pressing news of the day: this week’s mixtape is here. It may be a little light, but no less potent. Enjoy it as if it were the last one before the great ice age struck, and civilization ended.
