On a long drive back to Albany from Buffalo Wednesday night, I forced myself to listen to Babylon and Spy Love Box back to back.

And in a weird way, it all made perfect sense.

MP3s of the newly mastered tracks are now at the music page. Stream the whole damn thang.

You’ve been warned.

Peace y’all,

B.
