60 Minute Fluffer

Procrastination is fun. I was supposed to be working so I spent the morning surfing the Hype Machine and made a mix instead. 60 Minute Fluffer does exactly what it says on the tin.

Soft Rock Calling

pearl_jam

Last week’s Hard Rock Calling was fairly typical of events at Hyde Park. In a typically corporate fashion the misnamed global music franchise managed to suck much of the joy from what might otherwise have been a memorable event.
