Oooo. I got one.  ahem: This is a track I started way back… a-way-back-back-a-wiggity-whack. (dig it) but my patience diminished and so I never did-a-dip-done-done finished. (I ,like, totally got hung up man. It’s crazy.) snapsnapsnap So I had this idea for a concept piece to do in fruity loops. It would be like Camille [...]
