Im not quite sure how often these six-disc assortments are going to have thematic ramifications but here's the first one. Because last weekend was the annual Fat City father-son fishing expedition and I plan on going camping in the frigid White Mountains this Saturday, I went looking for tunes that fit my mood. Here they be.

1. Two Things At Once by Descendents
        Not only are they one of the best (if not THE best) punk bands to
        hail from LA, the Descendents may have written the best punk
        song about fishing -- "Mr. Bass."
2. Punk Goes Country by Chip Hanna
        Chip suggested slappinng one of his new CDs into the mix and
        after I found myself hummin "A Country Boy Can Survive" last 
        Saturday while reeling in two big trout, I had to oblige.
3. Dear Johnny -- A Tribute to Johnny Cash by Various Artists
        All my Johnny Cash is on vinyl so this tribute will have to do.
4. The Very Best of Drunky the Bear (monsters.fm podcast)
        Chances our one of our favorite radio personalities will die in a  
        horrible stunt related mishap at the Mountain Dew Action Sports
        Tour in Orlando so I'll listen to him complain about his wife one
        last time. 
5. Don't Back Down by The Queers
        Joe Queer often works on a fishing boat in his downtime ... you
        think this might be a stretch but I saw them last Saturday and it
        was another great show. I'm hooked on them again and Joe said
        there'll be a new album on Asian Man in February.
6. Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly
        No connection, just a good album for a long drive.

That's all folks!
