Once again, Jillzworth of Them Fighting Words had her newest edition of one of my favorite series’ on the net “Scrambled Crates”. This time around she picked me to judge it so I sat around listening to the selections she sent me via Gmail last night until I finally decided upon my Top 10 a few hours ago. I’d like to thank Jillzworth for the opportunity and picking such a great piece of source material. I’d like to thank everyone who submitted slaps. I’d like to thank iNanz for the logo. I’d like to thank Scarlett Johansson for being born and looking so damb good.
If you’re interested in being a part of Scrambled Crates 12 then hit up Jillzworth with” SC12″ as the subject @ ScrambledCrates@gmail.com. Please don’t waste Jillz time by asking for the damb sample and failing to send it in by the deadline or by making some wack earbleed shit with weak ass baby arm drums. Salute to whomever will judge the next contest. This was hella fun!
