Re: The Dollar Bin Is Almost Empty!

Wanted: individuals with caring homes and epic setups. This is the last bit of my bounty I'll be parting with, and the last time I'll have to waste yours with these shameless advertisements.



Also, next Thursday the infamous Fox Theatre in Fullerton is hosting a benefit being put on in it's honor, starting at 6pm. If anybody lives in the Orange County area, please come check out what they've got to offer. I like Oliver Jane.



Mostly Jane.



But I guess Oliver has a very nice smile, and he does play a banjo, which is always good for two of Ebert's appendages-gone-legitimate-rating-system way up.

Happy Monday everybody!

Must... Start... Fresh... (LAB024, 025, 026) (!!!)



Alright, so I've had a couple of mixes in construction since lord knows when and, well, here they are. I need a clean slate to keep moving. 026 is the next Butcher Shop installment, and the other two are more-or-less themed, probably leaning more towards the latter but nonetheless sweet. Noteworthies are the Sigur Rós 3-track EP I layered into one, as suggested by the band; the rare Tidal track; the Lemonheads-ala-Pink Razors cover <3; the Frog Eyes song from their split w/Jerk With A Bomb, and the Jerk With A Bomb track from their Pyrokinesis album; the UNKLE remix; the Boredoms classic and their less-experimental but no less-Japanese mixmates Luminous Orange; aaaaaaaand End Of A Year covering Seaweed, which came from a split with a band rocking said songs namesake who just happen to cover the Embrace song End Of A Year so legitimately hold up. I caught glimpse of the new Thermals today. They've finally scrapped the jewel case. Cucumber rolls on the house.
