I had an old man moment today, probably from finals/leaving-school stress. I was walking around campus talking on my phone when I stumbled across a disk-golf frisbee.

I'm fairly confident that " ( Read more... )

I thinks its called Klingons Crossing the Delaware and its on Wednesdays 9 to 10 pm. Its electronic music, hopefully mostly really synthed out stuff. I know were playing some really old (50 and 60s) stuff that mostly sounds like someone took a huge dump all over an audio tape, then chopped it up and taped it back together. I say "we" because I have ( Read more... )
