    Great blog you have here!
    Are you looking for the boris dvds, or the audio rips?
    Any chance you'll upload the new boris with michio kurihara - cloud chamber when you have it (when it's released). Because it's going to be limited to 1500 copies and I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it.

    Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy my little sanctuary. About the DVDs, well either is good but I would prefer the whole thing. And yes, as soon as Cloud Chamber pops out on Soulseek I'll upload it here.
