What we have is an asshole candidate for President with an inadequate running mate beating up on the press, telling reporters they’ve got the story wrong and the candidates should be left alone.
Utterfuckinghogwash.
But it’s not too different in the music business.
Unable to sleep last night, I started checking my e-mail. Every day I get this [...]

a night featuring:
-Bob Daktari spinning anti-folk records backwards to get messages from the other side while playing his geetar and showing off his vocal skills
