Continuing with the 6/6/06 theme, I present the Good and Evil Mixtape, 10 tracks of happy pop you'd be happy to bring home to mom and 10 tracks of soulshaking evil.

...and for the record, this is more than just a way to show that we have better musical taste than you - we actually trade CD-Rs. You can too if you email me and make your own mix.
Oh, so good! And bad! Mahna Mahna was a stroke of genius.
Happy 6/6/06!
I would probably put Electric 6's "Danger! High Voltage!" on the evil mix, because of the "gates of hell" line. And maybe Beck's "Satan Gave Me a Taco." I never thought of Cake as an evil sort of band. I'll have to revisit that song.
