Sorry I missed your show man. I tried to get Jesse Gurman to go too, but that little bitch didn't want to go+ we got completely loaded the night before.
The CD is a solid go to "keeper" album that helps me through the traffic here. Excellent stuff man.
Wow! THANK YOU! DORAN DANOFF. Thank you for brilliant music. I loved the revamped Cold Love. The intro brings the song together. By the way, I want my autographed CD or record? Let me know. I love "The Icarus Suite". Nice work, homie!
