I continuously get calls for a Dave Bradley.

Apparently Dave isn't too good about his mortgage payments.

I think it is pretty cool. Obviously electronic music is easier to do on a computer than other stuff, but considering most of your 'listening' posts are classic to modern rock variations, I was a little surprised. Nice mix of ambient and light beaty stuff though. :)

My friend just told me he's brother wants to give away 77 N64 games, most likely to me. I was having a mini heart attack until he told me he lives about a 4 hour drive away from me >.> Bummer.

Thanks, Hobes. Nice to hear that other people are enjoying it. I do listen to more than rock, though that is certainly my wheelhouse of musical knowledge. In any case, I'm glad to hear that someone who listens to more electronic music can find some merit in my decade-old project.

4 hours is worth it for 77 N64 IMO. I'd find a way to get those if I were you, who knows what hidden gems are in there.

Yeah, I have to agree with Swoosh. That sounds like its worth the trip for sure.

Granted, I love driving and 4 hours is nothing to me, but still, you can make a weekend trip of it.

No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to tickle myself. It's just not as funny.

Not having a car along with college and work every other day makes that kinda hard. But my friend did say he would pick them up for me next time he is visiting, whenever that will be.
