This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour. Tonight, I'm breaking my own self-imposed rules by taking it back to the first four months of 2000. The new millennium arrived with excitement and dread both intermingling in the air -- a chance to do better following some messy decades for some, and for others, an opportunity for the powers that be to turn everything into the Matrix. Obviously, being in the first grade at the time, I can't say "I was outside," but the music of the time period still holds importance to me to this day, so I'm paying homage. 

And, yes, Macklemore dropped a mixtape in 2000. The more u know!

Also doing slowed + reverb music now lol

To those of you looking for the slowed + reverb version of "Benji the Dog" by Mac Miller (RIP), it was copyright claimed after 15,000 plays. If you're desperate for the mp3, dm me here and we can work something out.
