lucky

housekeeping:  

i've got a new look, obviously.

i now only have one "post" per page, so there aren't hundreds of embedded songs on an entire page.  i am hoping that this makes the site run faster for those who were having problems.

i will soon have a more organized archive, so you can easily find songs from each season, each episode, etc.  as opposed to this random long list...

and, for those who cannot utilize divshare (which is a shame - it is *so* user-friendly), i will try to get the files on another sharing site.

finally, i still have not done season four tracks.  i will look into that soon.  

okay, the recent requests are below.  enjoy, continue requesting, look for more updates soon, and happy st. patrick's day.
