It’s been a very busy couple of weeks — shiz is heatin’ up at work like some sort of very hot … I dunno, pressure cooker? Also, there’s been some rumblins and a band might actually be happening (I know, right, aren’t you psyched, stay tuned!!!), but that means lots of trips to the city through the vast human nightmare that is the Bay Area Rapid Transit and San Francisco MUNI.

All this action has been wearing me out — luckily, I need not resort to recreational substances to keep me pushin’. That’s where today’s mix comes in. The hard rockin’ daddies on this mix keep my blood pumpin’. These bad papas will keep you rockin’ through the week. Till next time!
