No new mp3 today as I'm still in Vancouver and have no access to my vast musical library. Sorry, but that's the way it goes. I packed in a hurry and didn't get to load up my laptop with enough new music. Such is life, I suppose. I guess that means there probably won't be anything posted on Friday either, but I'll see what I can do. I'll get back into a regular schedule soon, I swear!
