GBS008-Paul Groovy's Head mixcast


Ok, here's the thing...this show was put together with idea of me voicing the links between some of the tracks-hey just like a real d.j-however....my mic isn't working so I can't record to the PC so no links....
All is not lost though. It gives me an excuse to write a new blog with the track listing and maybe stuff about the tracks(or maybe not!!),so I have uploaded it sans Groovy and it sounds GREAT...
So treat it like a radio station..TURN! IT! UP!  and get on and do something else-what that is is up to you.....
So now just click here..
