How old is he? Old enough to party! The playlist traverses some interesting and varied territory, so prepare yourself for one helluva ride. Kicking off with some classic DIANA ROSS, we cross the board to BLUE OYSTER CULT, then further afield with JACK LADDER, making a stop at THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, and finally arriving at THE TRIFFIDS. Did that really just happen?
