SwingDJs

Just in case you haven't been slapped around enough on Facebook by me promoting this album, I thought I'd throw some chum in here for the sharks. Hope you enjoy the tracks of off the debut "Covers From Another Mother" **WARNING** Falty & the Defects lay no claim to being the most authe...

if you don't think that keeping people dancing, and buying only music you like are mutually exclusive, then why would you buy music you don't like and then try to defend it by saying you need to keep people dancing and it doesn't matter what you like?
