Wow I feel like you guys have wiretaps in my brain. I was just thinking about posting about Loren Mazzacane Connors and Kath Bloom over at Popsheep. Have your Heard his Colaborations with His wife? They are also amazing, maybe I shall post on that! Thanks for the great Richard Youngs track too! Posted by jay at June 25, 2005 12:20 AMJ'adore Kath Bloom et LMC. Fantastic tunes of theirs.
