From coast to coast right now, people are complaining of their misery towards the precipitous inclination of April. So with regards to music, do we contradict mother nature with festive sounds or do we embrace the gray storms with morbid tones? Probably, a little of both. For this podcast, I pulled out some old, scratched cds and reminisced on San Diego, circa 2003-2004. This was the greatest time, in the coolest neighborhood, with a serious handful of awesome individuals. Some of them I speak to regularly, others I’ve lost contact with. This is for them and the special time we shared together. This is also for everyone else, just trying to get through a rainy day.
