either way, i’ve just found my cure. thank you d. strauss. tying [...]
Let’s see if this works.. This one should play for 48 mins and 52 secs and if it doesn’t there’s still something dodgy going on.. It’s a bit of this and a bit of that and in particular there’s Lo Fi Fnk and Promise & the Monster.
Tracks:
Steppin out – Lo Fi Fnk
