LOS ANGGEEELLLESSSS

Hola!!! Sorry I've been away. I've been manic. I'm now in LA but the week before I left I suddenly got tons of work so by the time I actually came to go on holiday I felt I needed it!! We've been here since Tuesday. Meghans just arrived yay!! I've left my camera at Texan Alex's so no party pics just yet. HOWEVER!!! What i DO have is the best goodies ever from a super cool store called Oogie Boogie that we visited in Chinatwon today. Flo used to work there when she lived in LA and I spent so much money, mainly on things for other people...My ultimate buy was these 4 cassette tapes made by Calvin Johnson. I wanted more but they were $10 each and I'd already picked up a ton on fanzines! Sooooooo obviously I stuck to the girl shit!!! Heres what I got!


At the risk of boring you I'm gonna type out the first 5 tracks so you can get the gist and if I can work out the technology I'll record them and put them up on here.
