GIMME TINNITUS

Quick before the month is over, let’s stop and look back and reflect on on what we were listening to one year ago.

I must say it feels weird posting a live WOXY track the day after they stopped live broadcasting. There must be something we can do to bring back live broadcasts to WOXY. Let’s get on that, ok?

Oh, this is the March 2009 Mix. Listen.

- Finally, here is a new mp3 that I didn’t want to listen to because I didn’t like the name of the band, but then I listened to it and what do you know here I am writing a run on sentence and actually posting the song from the band that I didn’t want to listen to, you dig? The band’s name: Micachu & The Shapes. The song: Lips (beggars mp3)
