time to get your PhD

@award33 wow, I love that clip, how in the heck did you come across that? may be deserving of its own post at some point…there’s something about the way the crowd noise keeps coming in and going out that sounds so great…should have someone rapping over it…
How did I come across that clip? hmmm, Miller High Life probably had something to do with it. Now I’m interested to see what you can do with the audio and or video.
[…] the DjJG mix for 2010. It took a good 2 and a half years to make, 'cuz if you remember, the last DjJG mix was wayyyy back in the May of 2008. For this one I made almost all of the tracks myself, except for […]
