I just made this Free dj mix for friends and enemies.
This was made with software, no mixer or phones. It was recorded blind folded, at an orgy for the industrial elite. I could of swore I heard Donald Rumsfeld moaning. They were all in cloaks so it was hard to tell. Haven't gotten a boner since.

don't worry steve, the summer funk has got everyone. i think i'm down to writing a quarter of a song every couple of weeks, never finishing anything, just a new quarter, of a new song. in return for your birthday wishes, i am wishing you a cold front.
