Adam Robinson's mix for me was much better than any mix I've ever done.
If you read the Adam Robinson post that I linked, you can get a valuable glimpse at the prexistence of his current Mencken fixation under the Old Covenant (i.e., in Milwaukee). And if you don't read the Pickle post, you could at least take a look at this exerpt:
Never underestimate what reading every single book that Vonnegut wrote will do for your ability to pander to an audience.He wants to be part of an intellectual circle, he says. I think that for him, that's only a means to the end of breaking away from one.
Shit -- I just read further, and he says that himself, almost word-for-word.
