Legends Mix

With an ever growing amount of music in my collection I try to organize by keeping a little database on that. But that helps just sometimes, and I often spend so much time trying to find something, that I wonder whether it's worth the trouble keeping that data. But then spending half an hour searching for stuff always leaves enough inspiration for an hour of radio, so hey, it's not that bad.

And the stories that come with the music, today include: why you should not use the number of band members in the name, a remarkable duet, the teenage days of the mother of hiphop and a double-sider of which I don't know the front from the back.
