Overdose on the low-end with Rooster Jake and me, Rick Shaw!  If you can pull this up in your automobile, please send me a Youtube clip of you blaring this and freaking out your neighbors.  Low end straight slain' in the trunk...

Potluck

At some point, you will want to move to the mountains, much as we both did.  Your happiness will be busting; the place you come from tells you not to be so trusting.  You'll need a mixtape you can depend on for your transition from urban wage slave to mountain-savvy rural warrior...then, from your cabin deep within your first winter, the firewood will run out, and when your hands are numb as you split logs in the cold, you'll have visions of Nickelodeon, and you'll hear a heavy metal soundtrack played by your best friends, and you'll know "this is what it was all about."

An instrumental I made for my brother Rooster Jake's birthday!  Rare I can give someone's gift to the Whole World at the same time I give it to him exclusively and personally; that's the internet for us!  Happy birthday Jake!!!
