Don't Move A Muscle

Don't make a move, punk. I could smoke you without coughing.

So, I leave for Hawaii next Wednesday. I can’t wait. This pasty Midwestern boy is ready to kick it on “island time” for a week. Yesterday, I talked to one of my buddies from LA who is going and he’s hooking up a resort hotel in Waikiki for like $60/night. We’ll be splitting our time between there and our friend’s place who lives in some village on Oahu and teaches biology or something. Pays to have friends who have friends in the service industry. You bet yer booty it does.

Here’s another mix I’ve made for the trip. This one is sort of a hangover-friendly morning mix. Island-stylee. I’m calling this one “Don’t Move a Muscle”, it’s one of the most chill mixes I’ve made in awhile. Nothing to get too excited about here, just lay around for a minute and get your wits about you. We’ll go from there…
