There has only ever been one master masher and that was Soundhog. It was always much more than just an A vs B track...to see some of the jumped up 'tards putting out that corporate 'club' backed cut and paste cack nowadays really boils my wizzle... /reaches for Soundhog 90 minute mix...on tape. Yes! I said 'on tape' in light of current downturn I can thouroughly recommend the opening 4 mins of Radio Soundhog vol 6.

But if you need an excuse to play Andy Griffith Theme at a dance party, this is brilliant.

The Bootie site is alive and well. If it went down, it was only for a minute while it changed servers... in fact, we got this from our ISP today: "By the way, yesterday your site pushed almost 500 GB of bandwidth: This is an absolute daily bandwidth record across our network. And then we switched your account to another dedicated server." We're so happy that THIS year (unlike the last two), because we purchased an extra server, we've been able to stay live and get this music out to you guys! A+D PS - Again, MANY THANKS TO CORY and Boing Boing!! Thanks everyone!

It amazes me that he could even imagine these going together - and they do to great effect. Excellent and highly recommended! Hope Beyonce gets to hear it. Party Ben is an incredible music visionary.
