It's been mighty quiet around here, hasn't it? For that, I apologize. Going to graduate school in one state and trying to spend time with my pregnant wife in another has been a bit of a challenge. (Maybe I could load Dragon Naturally Speaking on a PDA and write for this site via voice during my eight hours a week on the road?)

In any case, it's winter break time, so I'm back with this crunchy Vietnamese peace offering. Stuart's got a rare sixties pop track from Viet Nam Records ready for download over at Radiodiffusion. It sounds a lot like the Cambodian pop of the era, dimly preserved on an extra-crackly slab of vinyl. Act fast, this will only be up through Saturday, Dec. 16.

Oh, you noticed that "my" peace offering is merely a link to someone else's upload? C'mon, don't be such a stickler.
