I've added a couple of new links to Skip The Budgie today:
- Geoffrey Chaucer Hath A Blog

This site has links to some great drum and bass mixes - I particularly recommend Dom and Roland, Pendulum, Renegade Hardware, Black Sun Empire - they're all good actually.

There are other things of interest too, the guy makes music in some way (see dizplay & amaning - Sienna [Jerona Fruits]) and is also into photography, graffiti and other music technology news but it's mainly the mixes that have me enthused today!
