And for the love of deep bass, check out their myspace (linked above) for more tracks, and if you spin, they're on BeatPort, too....
There are few pieces of serial art I love as much as I truly adore every last one of the three thousand, one hundred and sixty comic strips of Calvin and Hobbes. The humor, lessons in zen, honesty, acceptance and simplicity, and easily the finest watercolors ever to grace the sunday edition. Watterson himself changed the sunday comics format...
