Mux024: July 2009 [Reissued on January 11, 2017.)

Update: This mux has been (permanently) reposted for download.

Doing things a bit differently this time. I'm pretty picky about between-track transitions, so I thought I'd pull a JDK Radio and smush it all together. I also accidentally stumbled upon some beat-matching near the end, so hang it there for an awesome crossfade. [Spoiler alert: It starts at 32:57.]
