Hey everybody. Got two killer mixes by the super talented Jeff Parker and Jon Bless for you.[Editor's note: I broke those two mixes into different posts with the new format but you can find Jon's mix here.] I’m not gonna try and talk too much about them or their selections, but both these guys have had a huge influence on me musically. Please take a listen. The zip file of Jeff’s mix includes a playlist.

By the way, sorry for the long break. I was really determined to try and get this music page looking a little nicer and to make it easier to use before I posted any more stuff up here. I kinda felt like I was doing a disservice to the music otherwise. Of course, the catch was it was taking me forever to actually sit down and work on stuff. Both Jon and Jeff got their mixes to me a while ago. My apologies to them to the slow turn around. With that said, I’m pretty damn stoked about getting this headed in the right direction and looking forward to the mixes that are yet to come. Big thanks to John Matthews for the endless hours of web coding and advice.
