Let's pretend I didn't get this layout from some schlockey free layout site and that I'm some kind of professional for at least a second and a half. Now tell me how you feel.
For those who aren't familiar, the concept of warchalking is simple. In the pioneer days of wireless networks, large corporate buildings would have private networks running all through them. Hackers would systematically exploit the security, then explain what kind of security was in place to other hackers that came by through a simple form of symbols not unlike hobo glyphs in chalk on the side of said building.

I love the idea of systematically tapping at things hidden, things other people can use, busting through the red tape and leaving maps for anybody who cares to go back in. I've used a lot of these routes left by other miners looking for truth or at least a differing opinion than what's on the table. So the project became titled Warchalking; its all symbols and maps that point the way to more information. Some of it may be penultimate truths, some may be psychobabble bullshit. Doesn't matter. Whatever it may be, its honest if nothing else, because I don't know how to do this any other way.

Snag yourself a record.
Hey you! I don't get on here very often and write you even less. Does that make me a bad friend or an honest one? ...yes... Miss you tons and hope your doing great.
Every once in a while a record lands in your life and blows you away. This is one of those records - an intelligent and heartfelt collection of folk-psychedelics, with songs that will linger in your mind like ghosts long after they have played. Dublin's THE LOADED WHISPERS are probably as great as lo-fi musicians get, combining the brilliant poetry of Jeremiah James and the unmistakeable mind-blowing voice of Syd Lane, over fuzzy stripped-back psych guitar and dancing piano keys. "Artists Use Lies To Tell The Truth" is a perfect introduction to what they do, with so many stand-out tracks that all you can do is let the record play out from beginning to end. And that really is the truth.
A 19 track sampler featuring a song from each of the 19 Quixodelic Records we've released in the last year. From rock and roll space psychedelics to twee indie folk/pop.
