Excellent! This could be hi-tech version of the tiny (3-track) mix tape! (Nothing like the original though)
And I forgot about the youtube embedding feature, I'll need to fix them.

I fixed CP's videos. Instead of putting the entire URL between the YouTube tags only put the video ID (the string of characters after the "v=" portion of the video's URL). See .

I was introduced to this style of traditional Hula music in a tele programme last night. Did you know traditional male hula is actually based on a martial art? Heh....yeah....laugh at that dude who can move his hips like mad and who is wearing a grass skirt, and he'll bust your head with one kick.
I really, really like the singing in this; the show I saw last night was filled with this stuff, it was amazing.

I'm not sure exactly what this defines, but I like it (plus I have the LP upon release):
