Yo dan Mela / Disco INN Shopasaurus. I just found out that we're related...and as a special family only present we've made a new song for you called "End of Days" (start doing backflips now). It's an epic instrumental opus to the moment when our ancient Dino relatives saw a large fiery object plummeting towards them. Please come to our page, give it a listen and let us know if it makes you feel like something catastrophic is gonna happen. If the song upsets you too much we will be holding several s support groups (read: comcerts) in the near future. Check our page for locations, dates and times.
We've put together a free ebook that shows the major mistakes people make when they're trying to promote themselves online. We're giving this information out to pretty much everybody we can find so if you want to keep up with the same info then please have a free download on us but be quick, the free download expires in a couple days.
