I am here for Networking

About Me

My name is Simon Heggum and I like: Playing music, writing songs, drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, sleeping, discover new ways to make my guitar do odd things, write cryptic phrases that turns into lyrics, being with my friends, drinking in a socializing way, collect strange instruments, feedback, politics (eventhough it dosen't work), art, literature, being awake, make stupid electrobeats, handclaps, electronica, avantgarde, alternative rock, grand pop, electric organs, sarcasm, being ironic, having a houge amount of time and not using it on anything, to know that: Jeg kan gøre alt med ballon... Leadsinger, guitarist, songwriter and multiinstrumentalist in the band Paper Sessions.
Which Radiohead song are you?
Knives Out
If you'd been a dog, they would..ve drowned you at birth. So knives out, catch the mouse, squash his head, put him in the pot.
