So I've been inspired and obessed with Aphex Twin ( Richard D. James) music for years. I've been listening to his side project The Tuss non stop for a year or so. I've been searching the blogs, forums and what ever other venue I could to find info on anything new. Today the "twitter" alerted me to a new interview with him. You can read it from these links below.

Waves Of Fury 12

-
This is a collection of recordings from the LAST "Waves Of Fury" in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan last night (May 16th, 2011). My set is the first in the list. Very happy to have been a part of an event like this. It's fairly rare to have something like this happen around these parts. It was also awesome to hear what everyone else had going on.
