>>Oh my, yes. Or at least for the most part -- the Square Pusher and

>>Has anyone gotten the box that the three LPs (well, six LPs) are

>>Fave track for the day: Marschmellows' "Blackout" (no, it's not
>>on the Food things; I can't remember the label). Nice mid-tempo
>>abstract head nodder; closer to hip hop than jazz; snazzy enough
>>that it's been stuck in my head for days.
