hey Mark,
Nice that you're holding it down over there. Great list of musical goods,
eclectic and sweet as usual. Thanks loads for the heads up on the "London
Calling" cover. Hmm... the Clash are still my all-time favourite band, love the
Lowlives, and Ultimate Dilemma is generally a genius label...what a combo!
Gonna go looking today. Nice to see that you're also really feeling the 'Darker
Than Blue' comp...one of the best reggae collections I've ever heard. Have a
good one tonight.
