Pretty Goddamn hard to pick a bad song on it. Throw in a few trays of cheap draft and an assortment of sad-eyed old drunks who lived upstairs and you got the perfect Saturday afternoon.

It usually costs a mint to "download" the song and play it, but it's worth it. Everyone always gets real pensive and says "I KNOW this song!" And then I get in their face and say "IT'S FUCKING HUM, THAT'S WHY!" I love to put on Hum - Stars at bars. It usually costs a mint to “download” the song and play it, but it’s worth it.
