So I haven’t convinced you to visit my Tumbler blog yet? Well I’ve created a mixtube mix (mixtube is like muxtape + youtube – videos) which contains the soundtracks to all the musically related videos I’ve posted to date. Songs range from the surreal – “Big Beefy Balls” by Rachael Ray – to the sublime – “Tainted Love” by The Re-entrants. Go have a listen.
I haven’t been posting over here very much lately, but I’m still Killing It over at the Artifacting Tumblr Blog.

UPDATE: Doveman’s Footloose album can now be purchased from itunes.
