LMH Mixtape #40: Free Play 4

The headquarters was in free play mode again for its 40th anniversary, and this episode brought up a lot of difficult questions.  Are the Ninja Turtles superheroes?  Is Steve Rogers' transformation into Captain America a tragedy?  And seriously, did anyone pronounce the word "prix" right as a child?  Ponder the philosophical depths as you tune into the mixtape's uninterrupted jams, then travel back to the original episode to hear the boizz weigh in on the issues.

Episode 174: Free Play 26

Episode 174 is an unofficial focus on haircut tracks.  That is, track names that are haircut related.  Rob specifically made his track list haircut themed, and Brent did too, but spontaneously while the episode was recording, after finding out how Rob prepared.  And actually, regardless of the track names, this is definitely the haircut episode, because there's lots of talk about haircuts and scissors and other barber related stuff.  So, to recap, this is officially the haircut episode, but musically, it's ultimately, basically a free play.  Well, you be the judge.  Full track listing below.
