Lots of talk and some music.
Tracklist:
Murder City Devils - Every Day I Rise
Don't Talk To The Cops - Murder Burger Official Motion Picture Trailer
Don't Talk To The Cops - Murder Burger (feat OC Notes & Rachel Ratner)
Scribes - Shinin' Bright
Baltic Cousins - Holy Stones
Skarp - Souless
SpaceGhostPurrp - Bringing the Phonk
Rabbit Ears - For and Against

Please let us know what you think!
UPDATES:
Correction: The Colonel DeBeers character was supposed to be from South Africa, not South America. DeBeers, real name Ed Wiskoski, is indeed from Portland.
Minnesota's current professional soccer team is the Stars. The team that worked out at the same gym as me was the Thunder.
The Spring Break photos that RO'B sent in can be found here. And the Olivian photos he sent can be found here.
Below is the Cold Killer cover of the Stranger that we talked about. (It was September of '04, and I was in Seattle for the Beastie Boys To The 5 Boroughs tour at Key Arena.) Following that are some other pics of Seattle graffiti that RO'B mentioned. He didn't flick them himself though--we stole 'em from the Internet.
