Day one was the easy day. You managed to arrive (maybe you managed to the night before, odds aren't that way though) and you enjoyed your first night. You'd set up your tent (Oh, did we forget to mention to set up the tent before you head to the festival? If not, we should have, doing it in the pitch black lit only by sparse lamps and headlights may not have been smart), and you may have been a little cold. But you now know to huddle and drink enough to keep warm. Today's really [...]

New music video for Grynch's album title track "Perspective" produced by Jake One. Shot & Edited by Zac McConnell iTunes: Perspective - Grynch
Grynch - Perspective Self-released: 2012 Pacific Northwest MC Grynch went mini-viral in 2009 with a song and accompanying music video about his Volvo 240 DL titled, appropriately, "My Volvo."
