Business as usual today after yesterday’s somewhat neurotic post. Many thanks to Dave C for hooking us up with a killer Endless Boogie jam from Primavera, which I’m in the thick of as I type.
Good stuff elsewhere this week, with only two or three out of this lot that I’m lukewarm on. Anyone who digs Blitzen Trapper should especially look out for Darker My Love, who appear to feature the White Fence guy, Tim Presley.
