description:

this mix narrates the true story from when i was commissioned by a hypersecret-turned-rogue faction of the japanese military to probe the harpold galaxy. my mission, to the faction, was to defuse a curious radiation pulsating from one of the axes in the galaxy's seventh frond. my personal goal, however, was to make it home alive, albiet 3 thousand millennia in the future. it began with thud on my doorstep one autumn afternoon in atlanta, georgia.

	maybe this is a bad idea, but i find myself on a weekend fling with a bulb-fingered thing. it's pretty and dangerous and stupid, but i might just scrap this mission and retire on this planet. then again, they have three satellites, and the tides are throwing me out of whack. SHOW MORE

15	Deltron 3030 : Positive Contact
	zooming through sputtering hydrogen tanks, racing lazer cruisers, and tricked out neon hondas, i invent a couple new maneuvers to try to fit in this galactic highway. it's hard to blend in, though, in my conceptually modern, camp future, earthly craft. i make it out alive, and approach nucar.
