Obviously getting older is cause for a bit of introspection. For some it might even be a source of panic, worry or depression. For others it’s simply a passage of time. For me it’s an across-the-board experience, but the chronology of my experiences has always been important to me.

The pair of acts I’m going to introduce you to today are sort-of a holdover from yesterday’s entry discussing Neptunesian Pop music. Neither of them are signed to the Star Trak label.
