Diamonds
So there once was an album on a cassette label. The artist presented 24 Ideas for songs, and told them to pick the best 16. The label thought that all of them were good and it was difficult but they chose the best 16, and used a 17th, potentially the best of them all for a compilation cassette. What I love about these songs is that there is proof. Proof that some obscure guy on welfare in his basement with a 4 track can make songs for no real reason other than the making can be just as good as someone a bunch of folks obsess over. Check them out.

PS As always these are here for a limited time. Once gone they are gone. Please do not email me asking for them.
