Audio

  • An old friend of mine from high school has a new acoustic project going called Paper Tales and I’m really digging their sound. Front man Darrell Foster and I played together in a jam band of sorts back in the day. One of us has clearly put more time and effort into his music than the other… bet you can’t guess which one.

  • The most hated song? I’ll admit, I got a kick out of it for the first 30 seconds or so but couldn’t hold on any longer. Here’s the deal: http://observatory.designobserver.com/entry.html?entry=6287

  • patvaughn: Chase Long Beach - “We’ve Got Pockets Like Nobody’s Business” I know what you’re going to say…ska is dead. But try listening to this song and not tap your toes. Enjoy! I just did the dirty skank in my room alone. -ska is not dead -print is not dead -the eighties just might be dead -ska will live much longer than the eighties
