dig that crazy beat

About Me

All these "Songs"...if ya wanna call them that...were recorded in various bebrooms, in Canmore and Halifax, over a number of years on a shitty tascam cassette 4-track. I just figured out how to mix them on the mac, so now they are hissy mp3's. If any one ever wants to hear more, let me know...i've got lots more.
