smallgang: San
The main discriminant between a bluff and the worthwhile is quality, and smallgang have plenty of it.
Mike Weis: Don’t Know, Just Walk
Give a microphone to a musician and he will record the mortality that surrounds him. Give it to a musician with fear of mortality and he or she will describe what life is all about.
Kronos Quartet: A Thousand Thoughts
