OK indie hipsters....gimmie some indie to tell someone realitively new about...

Every now and then, I drop a copy of one of my fave comps somewhere (like a bus stop to the college) where it will probably be appreciated by someone who may not be able to afford new music. I make sure there is a tracklist and I write "Finder's Keepers - Enjoy!" on the disk.

Goes to show you that things we take for granted can mean a lot to someone else.

Nice post, as usual

That does sound like a sweet thing to do. I know Dave G used to talk about leaving comps out when he'd go trail riding. Never knew for sure if he was just kidding or not. The other day I was out to lunch with an old buddy and he pulled out this comp he had with just a typewritten tracklist and no name or anything and stuck it in the player. Said he found it in his kids stash and they claimed it came from the library or some other such inplausible story, but he figured it must be one of mine. Hehehe, one of my first CD type comps. Fun to hear it again after a few years. Didn't make me cry or anything, but it was worth a grin. I made a whole slew of basically the same comp back in those days...over and over

Wow, that's really interesting and all, Davey, but more importantly, what did you have for lunch?

So kids in the States actually keep music in their stash, eh? How odd.

Wow, that's really one of the dumbest stories ever Davey, so what did you have for lunch?

Probably some Sing Chow Fried Mai Fun and Sub Gum Chow Mein Hong Kong Style at King Wah. Or maybe it was Phở tái chín and Chả giò at Pho-Binh. I had a bowl of Pho in Canada before, that was fun

Dood, dunno about all that but I finally have a package for you ready to go out. Very sorry for the delay, been caught up in other things.

10. McLusky - Do Dallas

Never a problem.
I realize some people do have actual lives.





...just never knew you were one of 'em...
