and now for something completely different...

if, for some reason, on this gray and rainy and gloomy day (in minneapolis town, at least), you feel the need to listen to something kind of gangsta, give this (link!) a try. it's quite good. 48ish minutes of stuff that is completely different from typical bad arts fare, but good all the same. except for the last three minutes, but we don't need to talk about that now.
