Weiss' Muxtape #9-The I've Either Got Mono Or I'm Just Really Bored Blues

I've been waylaid by a mysterious illness, going on six days and counting. Not fishing for sympathy but it's been a rather nasty combination of fatigue, aches, pains and weird red welts all over my legs (No Hives). My infinitely apathetic doctor couldn't tell me much more than "you have a virus," get some rest, drink some chicken soup, watch the rest of your Simpsons Season 9 on DVD." Needless to say, last night the Beer Baron saved the day. Up yours Rex Banner.
My other primary diversions have been the haunted and hypnotic alchemy of Light in August and pre-WWII Delta hell-hound blues. The sort of stuff that reminds you as bad as it gets, it's still pretty good. After all, I could be blogging under the nom de plume, Blind Jeffrey Weiss, which was originally slated to be my alias, but was unfortunately revealed to be previously taken by a popular Israeli Ophthalmological blogger. I'm no expert on the Blues but I know a little and hopefully you'll enjoy the mix. It sounds right to me in the middle of this fierce August haze.

I have been going through your website but have been unable to find where to send submissions in hopes of getting a review. I don’t wanta waste your time, I’ve recorded some albums in the past and for the most part they sucked but I know with this one I got it right. Below are a couple links where you can have a listen to my new CD called ‘The Situation’.
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read this I’m sure you get a lot of shitty music thrown your way however this is not the situation with this one.
