Mix Tape #44 - Beautiful Donkeys and a Dog With No Eyes

Eric, man, you're so right about The XX. Hott.

I was going to post a video of them, but they're pretty dorky lookin'. I mean, the guitar player's cute. But all that gothiness and button punching betrays how the finished product sounds.

So I'm going to post a Davila 666 video instead. My God. They're just the best, too.

Mix Tape #43 - I had this realization in the shower this week that, at some point, I'm probably going to buy a jukebox (and, maybe, a pinball machine,

but definitely a jukebox...one you can put 45s in). But I also realized I'll probably be in a small apartment or condo when that happens.

Space is going to be an issue.
