love and kisses zaphod? you didn’t even read it, did you?

ok, you gotta couple options here people. if you want in flac or in zip format go here - archive.org. if not, then here he is at the knitting factory on 6.17.04.

take it to fantastic

knees up is due on 10.9 and features some help from king adrock

i used to really dig ben lee, but something happened cause i havent listened to anything of his since something to remember me by. thats a damn fine record and maybe with this release it will get me back into him. nonetheless, hes got a new one comin out on 9.18 called ripe.
