Skull Candle
My friends at Black Sheep Skate Shop in Charlotte asked me to make them a mix for their website. Two years ago. Whoops! What can I say, I got distracted. They didn't mind much, and neither do I, and neither should you, cuz it's a rad mix of funky rock and psychedelic soul that makes you want to strut confidently in rhythm to your local head shop and buy a blacklight poster and a feathered roach clip. I'm presuming it would be good to skateboard to, as well.
Major thankage to Chase and Josh at Black Sheep, Chris Goodwin for the awesome cover art, and Allison Reed and Mike Famous for production assistance on the forthcoming hardcopy, which will feature silk screened sleeves and handstyled CDs. Details on that project as they emerge. Also, gratitude to Cosmo Baker, Chris Lemon-Red, Jess Burns, Patrik North and the Ultimate Breaks And Beats for introducing me to some of these awesome songs, and to all who wrote back with constructive crits on the rough draft.

Real glad you got some use out of those tracks, Dr. Jones. Can't wait to hear this.
shit is tight.
It is understandable that cash can make us autonomous. But how to act if one has no cash? The only one way is to receive the credit loans and short term loan.
right on. glad I cam across this.
Yo bro, please switch your file sharing to drop.io

I would really like to hear your tracks, but when I clicked on the 26 short ones, it doesnt work. Is there any other way you could share them online?
