So you’ve stuffed yourself on holiday helpings and you’ve wallowed in that mucky soup of consumerism they call giftmas, er Christmas, I mean. And maybe perhaps you have been lucky enough to walk away from the spoils sporting a new mp3 player which you can fill with some great Gigatracks music.

The problem here is that they make really great music together and thus it makes splitting up quite difficult. But they keep giving it the old college try anyway. Read the rest of this entry » |
