heya Aaron and Axel,
Any idea when the Saul Williams album will be out and through whome? Your
descriptions have left me even more excited to hear it.... just hope he
comes to Toronto some time. :-)
On a semi-related tip... I've been looking for the 'No More Prisons' comp.
that somebody posted about here a little while back. No luck so far, and a
couple of people have said that they 'heard' the release date was pushed
back. Anyone know if it's out?
Thanks!
