I decided to put my collection of vinyl to good use, so I made a kast consisting entirely of vinyl rips. It was all run from my turntable through my valve system (kt88s for all you geeks). How hipster is that? The file is a little larger than normal because it's encoded at a higher bit rate, y'know, so you can hear all the crackles and pops properly.

David Allan Coe is probably my favourite country singer. I doubt I'd want to hang out with the guy, but he sure has a great voice. Now, over the next 50-odd minutes you're going to hear some big boy words and some less than politically correct sentiments. Just remember that most of these songs were written in the 1970s, in Texas. A little context goes a long way.
