ReplyDeleteYou leave two comments in under five minutes and both contain vulgarities. You know my delicate nature cannot endure such filth. I take it MF is mofo? Gracious me! [mOFo got married and moved to Canada this month. Gracious, indeed.]
ReplyDeleteAt any rate, I agree on both counts about the concertina record. It is fun stuff. Makes me wanna pull out the Hero accordians and go nuts!
EXCELLENT! Is that cited on the site somewhere, jaylsiwaylsi? Should be. Either way, it's a fun record. I sent a rip of it off the folks back in Indonesia, so it is making the rounds there now.
