This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour.

As the French say, c'est la vie. I talk for about a half hour about the election, the Datpiff situation, and why there is more at stake than just some tunes.

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.
