Salutations, traveler of The Internets! Welcome to William's Bloody Hell, so named after our founder, Sir Bloody William.
He is seen in the likeness above in a rare, 19th century woodcut. This
image was rumoured to have been
commissioned after a bout of unpleasantness
in the White Chapel district of London. Do enjoy your stay and peruse our many, varied offerings, much of which cannot be found elsewhere!

This is not something that was invented by me, but when I heard about it, I knew this was something I wanted to take part in. Basically, people (in this case, me) make a mix CD and then leave it in a public place for someone, anyone to find, take home, and listen to it. I enjoy making mix CDs and also enjoy giving them to people, so yeah, this was right up my alley.
Here's the deal: whenever I'm going out of town, I'm going to take at least one CD with me and leave it somewhere. The CD will have a Post-it note on it with my website and e-mail address. Hopefully, whomever picks it up will listen to it and get in touch with me. I am going to keep a running tally of what CDs I have out in the wild and which ones have been picked up on this page. I'm REALLY hoping I hear back from the folks who find my music.
If you've found one of my CDs and want to let me know, fill out the form HERE.
