Poached Deer

Hello,

This deer above was poached near my house a few days ago. I heard the shot, saw the deer die, saw the illegal hunters on the side of the hill, and called I-800-TIP-MONT and reported the sunsabitches to the warden. The hunters saw me, I guess, because they didn’t come down and try to claim the deer which now lay dead in front of me. The warden was excited, a real live crime happening, and on the way up the road he took the time to write down the license plate of a vehicle parked about a mile down the road. He drove up to my house and I hurriedly gave him the facts, he jumped back in his truck and sped down the road. An hour or so later he called me and told me he got the guys, some college kids, and now he was going to make them gut the deer (but they can’t keep it), show him where they shot the deer from, and hand them down some fines for illegally shooting firearms (you can only bow hunt around here), trespassing, and failure to wear hunter’s orange. I got the guys.

I wasn’t able to record last weeks’ show so I took the time to assemble a mix on the computer here. The new studio at KBGA is running and looks downright gorgeous. We’ve got a new board, new cabinetry, and a cool hiding place for the turntables so they don’t get damaged needles any more.  This mix would be a good one for headphones, what with some subtle soft dreamy downer psych and some sweet orchestrated parts within. I am absolutely obsessed with the band, “Gandalf”, who have two tracks in this mix….hunt that album down if you can.

Bye,

Collin

  2. Just finished listening to the set… Wow, you’ve out done yourself my friend. Great stuff.

    I just made a post over at the VVR bitching about the Beatles, and here you are starting off your set with them… But then you go and follow them up with all of these great largely unknown artists – just the types I’m talking about who have been overshadowed by the Beatles. It’s fitting enough that I updated my post to link here.

    Love, love me some young Bobby Dylan. Just the early stuff though, I agree.

    Great to hear about KBGA’s new digs and that things are going good.

    PS, good work mighty citizen in catching those poachers. Too bad you couldn’t skin it out and package the meat yourself. Such a waste.

    Later.
