John Zorn's 45th birthday! Did an hour-plus blowout of Zorn, with every other track coming off the Torture Garden album -- mostly less than 30 seconds long. I left Torture Garden in our CD player #2 and kept swapping out the disc in player #1 ... meaning I usually had 30 seconds to pop the CD in, let it load up, and select my track. For the record, the process (if the CD cooperates) can be done in less than 10 seconds.
Fun and exhausting.
