The Promised Land means many things to different people. To mixers freemethodist and Avocado Rabbit it might have referred to finally completing their collaboration after weeks of trying out songs before sending them back and forth to one another. Individually and, in the case of the mix on this page, it could have a deeper meaning. Each of us knows what wilderness must be crossed before reaching our salvation.

But let’s not get too serious. The mix was very enjoyable to put together and to hear the finished product. We think it will put a smile on your face, too.

And here is the quiz: Which band here took its name from a song by The Yardbirds?
