eskimeaux

Welcome eskimeaux, aka Gabby Smith, to our lineup of new, mystery acts. Her email contained a link to her album, I Am A Spiral, and basically nothing else. Seriously.

iTunes Mixery

For those who don’t know, this is the thirteenth iTunes Mixery. Here’s how it goes: I play iTunes on shuffle -> tell you which song comes up -> provide the mp3 and a tidbit -> continue until five songs and embarrassment are complete. Again, nothing’s off-limits – I don’t “fix the mix”. Have a look into… Continue reading iTunes Mixery

Roy Paymon

He’s a singer/songwriter based out of Brooklyn, and recently released his self-produced debut album, Guarding Crows.
