You ever have one of those days? One of those weeks? Man, I am having one of those months. Not all bad necessarily, but let’s just say that old Duder has a lot of strands to keep straight in his head. Then today Team Fatback was like, “We need to do a new Fatback mix!” It’s my turn and I’m not afraid to admit that I was stressed. “Oh man, what do I do, what am I gonna play… ”

Then I realized that I now had the perfect excuse to come home, turn up the stereo, and unwind with some music that I’ve been digging lately. Ahhhhhhhhh. Much better. I hope you enjoy it: download here.
