The Next Fools





Tex Hobart and Doowad are mixing together for the second time, though we felt this time we achieved a higher level of mutual appreciation.

Tex was so inspired by Doowad & strange loop’s most recent MAS production that he sent Doowad his own FTHOI/WTF mix. One thing led to another and they decided to make a new alt-dj, but with the traditional ping-pong and trying to avoid both of their usual suspects®.

We put this together in 24 hours of emails, going with our gut instincts in all but one case. And quite by accident, a few of these turned out to be covers, though the Avett Brother’s song is not a cover. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did bringing it to you...
