ORIGINAL — Fog Punch


November 26, 2011 (Day 242) — Fog Punch Oh God. You were able to keep everything at bay. The Holiday jingles. The guy dressed like Santa who smells suspiciously like urine and chicken bouillon.

Mind Eraser


November 5, 2011 (Day 221) — Mind Eraser There’s an excellent rock song by Them Crooked Vultures called “Mind Eraser, No Chaser.” And truthfully, that’s all I had going through my mind while mixing this little bastard.

November 4, 2011 (Day 220) — E’Sprit de Novembre We bid a fond adieu to  summer last night. Well, perhaps not for good. But it’s most definitely fall now.
