How are you, Spirits Burning? Haven't checked in on you lately, so I swung by to wish you a happy halloween & hope you are feeling well! Listen, I have another track up on my page, "Attack Of The Mushroom People." You can Hear it right Now, if you'd like at: www.myspace.com/psychedelicpablo adios for now! Pablo
Absolutely amazing work, I can't really praise it enough. I can only wish that my work holds a candle to the level of sophistication you have truly achieved.
I will, however, do the obligatory Myspace shameless self promotion by adding a picture to this comment:
Cheers, beers and love, Amigos! I was listening your music, you have totally cool songs on your player! Wishing you a beautiful weekend and send good feelings from Hamburg. Prost! Sivla
