Houston will face Utah (probably) in the first round, Dallas in the 2nd round, and San Antonio or Phoenix in the conference finals. Hey, if they can make it past that gauntlet, more power to them.

I'm looking forward to tonight's episode.

Based on a few spins, I think this one is pretty good but not great. The best track (and best title), IMHO, is "re-haired".
Perry Robinson has a very unusual tone on clarinet -- almost like a soprano sax.
