Yep yep, Mitch swore he'd never trade in his old turntable for a CD player, ranted that he'd never give up his blue IBM Selectric typewriter for a laptop computer, said he'd rather die in a gutter than leave the wilds of the Sonoran desert for the heathen cluster of Los Angeles - and the last thing on earth he'd EVER do was have web page named after himself. A man of his word? Yeah, right. At least he hasn't bought a cell phone, not yet anyway. The swine.

In all fairness though, his web page wasn't meant to be MitchCullin.com. It was supposed to be something like AngularRabbit.com, or BrokenRhinoplasty.com, or JustCallMeSusan.com. But the powers that be had other plans, so for the time being he has to live with himself.com.

In any case, Mitch wants you to know this:

Hola & hi.

Welcome to my infernal web page under the cyber sun. So, please, have a look around, check things out, explore my friends' links, eat a torta, indulge your kind heart or profound disdain, maybe steal some stuff. I'm easy.

More stuff will be added over the next week or two, or three... until then, here's a chunk of songs to discover on your own (each playlist fits nicely on a single 80min. CD-R):

Otherwise, take care of yourselves, visit the latrine, brush up the teeth, take a bath daily, keep the hair dressed, wear neat & clean clothes, take meals in time, gargle after every meal, keep hands & nails clean, be punctual - and if you manage to bump into me along my travels, say howdy.
