I Alone Cannot Stop the D

I thought of another musical post while running today.

I worked with a guy at GE who loves music, but I think he had been under the impression that there hadn't been any good music made in the last 40 years. So I put together a mix CD with a sampling of good music from my lifetime.

As I was narrowing it down to the 80 minutes of music I could fit onto a single disc, my last cut was between Live's I Alone and Tenancious D's Tribute. I went all artsy and picked I Alone, and burned the CD. Then I realized I'd made a terrible mistake. No way a 2nd song from Throwing Copper would have more marginal utility than the hilarity of the D.

The name of the compilation was a no-brainer. Here is the final version.
