Remixed at Random?

July 18, 2008 – 11:07 am
I’m in “a mood.” It’s uncomfortably humid here in my apartment. I’m bored just looking at the armload of vintage vinyl I’ve already flipped through a hundred times that’s leaning against the shelf next to my desk. And I don’t really feel like moving crates around in order to pull some other […]
