POPCAST #545 TREATS THE FOLLOWING: Trouble sleeping. Trouble focusing. Trouble breathing. And measles.

RECOMMENDED USE: Dance free. This week's popcast is best taken however you like it. As Mos Def says in song #1, We in the movies, and you're a staaaaaar. (SHATTAH SHATTAH!) 

WARNING: P&C technical support has located a disturbance in the volume field somewhere around tracks 5 onwards. This is most likely due to an overabundance of funk brought on by Arthur Russell & friends a few tracks back. (He's kinda awesome that way.) Don't let it stop you from cranking it up and modern dancing to Ultravox; its very much so recommended.

 1. Pistola: Mos Def
