So there have been significant complaints about me not blogging, and not putting up new mixes. I hope to disapoint both groups by posting a short blog entry, and a 1 hour mix

So, recently, I have been thinking that maybe large-scale arson isn’t such a bad thing. If you are around Oregon, you’ll know…we’re in peak grass-seed pollen time! The Willamette Valley is the worlds largest producer of grass seed. Yeah, seriously. See:

Well, for a while now I have wanted to start doing podcasts of the sets I do to practice DJ-ing…so I finally got off my ass and did it.
