One day when I’m dead and gone, the things I want to be remembered by is that I did my best, gave a shit and that I found a gun in Vermeer’s View of Delft.

Chicago was a fantastic place to live at the height of the dubstep craze.  While living there, I started an online exchange with various producers/musicians/djs – arwork in exchange for Lucky Lucy tracks.  This is Ras Om’s “Lucky Lucy’s a Wall Killer”, one of my favorites.
