I'd be willing to bet that there is only one DJ in America who periodically plays this track
on the air and that is Felix Hernandez of WBGO's Rhythm Revue Saturday show. Except for
uploads on youtube and random blogs, you'll probably hear it nowhere else. Actually there
are hundreds of songs like that. Andre Williams' Bacon Fat comes to mind...

Splanky - Thanks for pointing me to BACON FAT. That was tasty, crispy recommendation. Enjoyed it. And come next Saturday, I'll check out Felix. Thanks for the tip.
