i’ve been playing lots of various folk musics on top of each other to make it more… meta… i’m an artist and musician with a propensity for collaging stimuli. i live and work in echo park, and am getting married in a week and a half, so this mix is dedicated to my fiancee, jesika, for enduring all of the planning tumult associated with bringing everyone and everything together… enjoy the upcoming solstice, and peep my website, pauldiddy.com, for links to my work, my blog, and to listen to an album i stitched together from samples, elaborate. thanks for participating! – Paul Diddy
