This is my first Bootlegs & B-Sides of 2025 and it's with a heavy heart that I dedicate it to Andrew Cerutti (Fort Knox Recordings), who tragically passed away this week.

Andy was my show's biggest Champion. He was also a musical guru and from the outpouring of grief on social media, he was clearly loved and highly respected in the culture. I used to chat with him weekly and still can't believable that he is gone.

Rest in Peace, Brother and thanks for everything.
