Big props to you, Gnat. Especially for continuing for this when barely anybody stepped up to help you out.
Thanks dude, but I don't feel slighted in anyway...I have really fucking dope tracks that people have contributed, many of which are original pieces made specifically for this project...as for the coordination piece (treasurer, etc.) that really had to be one person anyway else shit would get incredibly complicated....it's been difficult enough coordinating 25+ odd people via PMs and e-mails.
I gotta give my love to Bambouche and Aspirin for managing that Heatrock beast which I'm sure was a logistical nightmare...all I had to do was put the message out there, poke and prod a little and the dope beats came flying at me...can't wait to hear yours twoply...
THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE MADE THIS POSSIBLE... I swear on the sweat of my....neck....that this will get completed... gNAT
[color:orange]My felllow Strutters, I am on this business tip right now. -The PayPal account is set up right now to receive CC and debit payments. -I'm securing a site, www.breakintheroad.org to move this album...I'm not sure exactly how to do HTML, but I'll buy a book and make it happen by the end of the day if it comes down to it... -I'm gonna talk to the buyers at Amoeba Records in Berkeley
Just want to let you good people know that I'm serious about making this happen...[/color] much love, gNAT[/b]
Alright, with a little help from the website set-up assistant and some knowledge of HTML that I owe to SoulStrut, the website is up and running in a skeletal form: www.breakintheroad.org. I have figured out how to link it with PayPal, but will need some assistance in creating links to sample tracks @ other sites or uploading them to my own site. If anybody can help me here, PM me... gNAT
We're approaching the finish-line on this piece...I'm learning HTML for the website, www.breakintheroad.org , which is up in a skeletal form right now...
[color:red]ThesOne[/b] has come through with a funky ass beat that left me wanting to freak my laptop while I was screening it. My wife is concerned. I don't care though...dancing with laptaps is a positive modern manifestation of technology...right?[/color]
[color:green]Grafwritah's track Micky Ds got played live in my DJ set yesterday @Kingman's Lucky Lounge in Oakland, CA. It was soo good that it gave that cutey drunk girl in the corner the hots for me...I had to explain to her that I didn't make the track and that Grafwritah was who she needed to talk to...PM me Graf...she was smokin...[/color]
[color:orange]mrpek has got a fucking track that puts DangerMouse's Grey Album to shame...not only that he actually has an original MC...[/color]

mad respect to gnat for taking on this project, and all the dudes who have contributed beats.
everyone who has the means to get involved on some level in this project should. it's the next step after the heatrock auctions as soulstrut continues contributing to relief for those in new orleans.
this may be a project birthed by little dudes, but it's much bigger than that.

[color:red]Mallard's[/b] track farawayplaces is indeed a cerebral voyage to everywhere I need to go. I like to think of it as auditory Prozac. It is a fucking amazing song that I'm proud to have on the album. PS Mallard, I publicly apologize for losing your .wav file...I had it all along...[/color]

To work off the stress from his job he deejays locally and produces hip-hop beats. He is married to Masako Esperanza Oishi, who doesn't seem to mind that he spends most his time in the studio because gNAT is doing what he loves.
(2) the best e-mail for people who might want to independently do business with you can contact you at. I intend to put this on the CD liner and website so that y'all who have donated might get some networking potential.
