Episode 131: Elevator Music 3

Solid, solid episode.  Seriously, the music is soooo good this week.  Every track is great.  The focus is "elevator" music, which means music that's sort of jazzy, sort of synthy, jazz fusiony, 80's-y, TV show themey, hold musicy, sort of cheesy, sort of smooth, and even kind of sexy.  It's the best.  Also, Brent really gets down with a track from Quartet, showing off some luscious vocal stylings.  Check it out.  Full track listing below.
