Black Sheep Skate Shop Presents: Pandemonium Jones - Skull Candle

Brian Curtis, a.k.a. Pandemonium Jones is an interesting individual. I mean that in the most  complimentary way, too. Once he camped out at my apartment for a week and kept us all entertained by playing sets around Charlotte (including the raddest in store set @ Black Sheep). The dude has such good taste in music and adds his own steez to his sets. This mix is one of my favorites and we have been playing it @ the shop for five days straight. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as we do!!!!  Be on the look out for hand screened compact discs and shirts supporting our good friend’s efforts soon….–Chase

(I’ve been a fan of Pandemonium Jones from the time I heard the first Caps and Jones Bouillabaisse mix up through all his solo projects now. Be sure to check his site Mixed Messages for lots of other great mixes. He’s a really talented and great guy all around, and we’re really honored to be a part of this mix. In his words, “a rad mix of funky rock and psychedelic soul.” Thanks Brian!–Josh)
