Animal Panic

For no particular reason, here’s a mix of 18 tracks with a vaguely animalistic theme. It’s an hour of music, aggressively eclectic — some might say obnoxiously so — from madrigal to metal, from rock to reggae, from the goofy to the sublime, from Thurl Ravenscroft to Blue Öyster Cult to Quincy Jones.

The animal theme is pretty thin. The only thing these tracks really have in common is I love them all.

Warning: at least one track should probably not be played loudly at work. But it’s the weekend, right? Annoy your neighbors and give your co-workers a break.
