This obviously related to a SPAM (it's not the Brewdog taking over my mind...honestly).

In case anyone has missed Days twitter you can get 10% off with the code '1000TWEETS'That's what happens when you aint a 'tweeter' (I'm too old and miserable for that sh!t).
Still, all proceeds go to Day...so although its cost me more...I can rest easy knowing its gone to a good cause.

Thanks for the twitter code... never joined y'all twiggas, so I would've missed it. Looking forward to it... here's why I know it'll be freshhhhhh:
DJ Day on the PL70 site about the new release (emphasis added):
Had I known what I was getting us into, I would have never set foot in the studio… The old maxim “suffering for your art” was taken to new heights in the making of Land Of 1000 Chances. Not only was the inspiration for the album soaked in personal turmoil, but seeing it to fruition would take Thes and I to the brink of insanity. I want to say there were a lot of great moments and experiences I will never forget, but if I had to weigh it all out, it would be a tough call to ever re-live it again.
From Thes One's October 2011 Univ. of Oregon lecture (emphasis added):
So, the idea of "re-appropriation", of taking something and using it in its unintended purpose… to me, that’s one side of hip hop. And then the other side is "destruction". I’m now in my thirties… like I said, I’m old, so bear with me… this is not an old man’s sport, and it’s hard to find examples of people who can age in hip hop, you know, without being the guy with the fitted Adidas suit who’s creepy. I’m not talking about Russell Simmons, but…
But "destruction", if you think about it in… "destruction" as like an idea… "destruction" as the motor for hip hop, the engine that powers it. You wanna go… you wanna be a great graffiti writer? You need to go destruct as many things as you possibly can. You wanna be a good breakdancer? You need to dance so hard you’re breaking your bones. You’re breaking your spine. You getting paralyzed. You wanna be a really great DJ? You need to get really, really rare and expensive records and then scratch them, go back and forth and destroy them. And the harder you destroy them, in that moment… that’s the hardest you ever go. Which is one of those things that hip hop is always going to be just in that moment of destruction.
I’m sure there’s lot of people who participate in different hip-hop things, you know, whether it’s graffiti or dancing or MCing, but… you know that moment you like… you black out… you’re like, "I’m right here… I’m in it! I’m destroying. I’m killin’ it!" Right? "I’m killin’ it!" You are. You’re literally killing something. Whether it’s: you’re killing the English language by some crazy rap-slang thing or poetry, or you’re killing this wall.
