Mixer: James Van Osdol

Mix Title: Legends of the Dork Knight

James is the program director for 94.7 The Zone and throughout his radio career he has been up and down the dial helping stations to try new ideas and break exciting new bands.

Much like his guilty pleasure 2 disc mix from last year, James is feels that a disclaimer is in order:

"I'm a geek. Dork.  Loser.  Yes, I read comic books.  An adult, thirtysomething, married "professional," and I read comic books. Rather than hide my interests in the closet (which would further retard my emotional growth), I've chosen to be open and 'out' about them."   

The result is this two disc compilation of songs about and referencing comic books and superheroes that crosses many genres and eras.  You have probably heard some of these songs but it is certain that many would be new to virtually any ears, dorky or otherwise.  James also feels that the potential winner should know that not every song is "Archie clean." 

BONUS TRACKS:

8 Graphic Novels, (that's a fancy name for comic books, sonny) for your reading and collecting pleasure.
