2.double dagger-More on thrill jockey. Baltimore keeps DC style alive. So good. this one is kind of like the first No Trend 45....

VDB wisdom from beyond the grave

"I remember Frank Vandenbroucke used to use knee warmers and he’d cut them off shorter because your knees were not cold, but your quads were, so he’d have an extra layer over the quads."
Via Matt Wilson from Beglium Knee Warmers. Glad that site is back.
