The Grand Pink Blob Interview

Thursday, October 1st, 2009

Hello dear cats and other animals.

In our quest for artists who wanted to be featured on our totally shit compilation we came across a lot of weird but interesting individuals. One of those fine eccentric artists on the compilation was a mysterious reggae musician from Mexico. We where very curious and eager to get to know this artist a little bit better and hope you are sharing the same excitement.
Lola interviewed the pink blob through in depth questions by email and here is the fine result!
