I know I put something of ed’s only a little while ago, and it kinda makes me cringe how much im blogging on him but hey, I like good music and my boy’s churning out the Bangers!

ANYWAY! this week i thought “FUCK IT! Im gonna do a refix in 1 take!” and the result is this cover I did a while back by my HERO jack white from the white stripes.

PEACE!
