While doing my work I can’t stop clapping my hands.

Ben, this for you.

dubbbb mixes

nightly treasures into my head

yrm — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 23:06:25 +0000

i listen to music all the time i’m awake. all. the. time.

audio from there and here. free. paid. found.

and the most intense time of listening is at night when my loves are sleeping and i have to do some work. creative stuff or just leftovers from days or weeks … and RIGHT NOW – headphones attached to my head – THIS GREAT SOUND is plucking into my brain. 39 minutes of pure dope.
