Some of our best friends are compilations!
Yup, all music chosen from compilations for today's mis-adventure! From rock-ish, to trip-hop, to afro-beats, to remixes and mash-ups from all over. And, a quick trip to Saturn too.
Compilations often provide just loads of music you might never discover another way. Plus, many are surprisingly affordable, considering often large track counts per $$. Also, they can be an excellent source of fiber, as well as the vital vitamin "what the &%@# was that?!" factor too.
As usual, PLEASE hit us up on the Interactive Thingy (over there ==>). We'd just love to hear from you!

NOTE: Check out this upcoming event: "Sung Ra"!! Christine Duncan + The Tone Cluster Choir + RakeStar Arkestra will be performing music of Sun Ra on Sunday Jan 22, 7:30 pm, at Church of the Ascension, 253 Echo Drive (near Pretoria Bridge), 20 bucks at the door. There will surely be ample odd sounds, ample headgrear, and probably a unicorn. Spacecraft parking situation is a bit unclear though. Should be quite something! BE THERE OR BE SQUARE. https://www.facebook.com/events/1389364557740901/" |
