The Consumption

My apologies for the lack of links, as I’m kind of in a rush at the moment, but just so you know, there are free, legal downloads available from plenty of these folks, and the ones from Heems, Rainy Milo and Rhye are all especially worth tracking down. If you have a couple minutes and the ability to use Google, it’s worth your time. No commentary today, but plenty of goodies, starting with soul, moving through some bangers and ending up on a nice, chill ride. Huzzah!
