I am so inclined but my wifi does't share the same desires at the moment. I'll try and kick back in when it stabilizes in a bit.

Wouldn't you rather listen to 20-minute pieces for tape-manipulated vocals?

Oh dear. Well, no need to make agonizing decisions now as I won't be listeing to anything but the mp3's on my hradrive until my signal settles down.

Maybe we can split the difference with some 20-minute DJ mixes.

This song, Osymyso's 'Intro-Inspection,' is a good choice for the guess-what-songs-are-included crowd. Before that, DJ Shadow's 'Live Lesson C.'

posted by box 26 December | 15:46

Before, The Breakestra's 'Live Mix Tape, vol. 1.' Now, Ochestra Lissanga's 'Okuzua.' Things seem to have taken a turn toward Afrobeat/funk/jazz/whatnot.
