"MICHIGAN BOX"
Category: Fashion, Style, Shopping

I just got copies of the "MICHIGAN" compilation in the mail today from Hanson Records - yes, it really does exist. Not sure if it's been officially released yet, but I'm sure it will be coming very soon... This 6 LP comp features all of the usual Michigan suspects, but there's no insert or song titles/credits listed anywhere on the packaging.

My side was recorded in early 2005 - pre-'Let Me Die' limbo era - and in a similar heavy electronic style. I think the 'My Dungeon' tape came out of the same sessions? Anyway, my side is called 'Nobody's Brother' and is 3 songs/18 mins.
