    just listened. Thanks.

    Did you and the lady part ways? You said you were moving out here but didn't mention here and this mix seems a tad depressing.

    That Dirty Shames song is great. This mix is very enjoyable, love the bummer vibes.

    You said you were moving out here

    I smell a C7/ako release down the line.

    I'd be down to put something out with A-ko, but I think he is as lazy and as un-artistically motivated as I am at this point.

    N**h, you are young. Might as well make a big move like this while you can. Just be prepared to leave the barrels of 25 cent 45s back in the midwest. Things are different out here. It's great out here though.

    I agree but its times like these (heartaches,transitions,LIFE) that makes art what its worth, the best of creativity comes out of people when their down, the only reason I like crawling down that hole is what art I bring out of it.

    I hope you all do, I've heard your releases and I've heard his schitt.
    One day, maybe so, maybe not.

    really great mix -- thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. love that Bill Hjerpe track.

    from the sounds of it, now could be the perfect time for you to concentrate on getting something proper released!

    - -i did a 45's only mix recently aswell, but i think yours has more class...

    I'm glad you're well, Ako. We've missed you 'round here!

    thanks man. once i'm settled i'm definitely gonna be back in full force on the strut. i'm guessing i've missed a fair share of new strut-speak i'm gonna have to catch up on though...

    wow, i didnt realize Daze was from here! i'll have to look him up!

    Albuquerque? Somebody gave you bad directions to the Bay.


    I hope things are good in NM. Crank out some tunes.

    That doesn't seem like much of an improvement over Iowa! Now you're short water, too.
