To Love Sophia

About Me

'Denial', and 'Love' are from a project called 'Lies' that was put together during the month of February for the RPM Challenge. 'Lithuanian charm' is from 2008's project, 'Thought I Knew'. I bark at people. It has better results than meowing. But, under the right circumstances meowing and purring could be considered appropriate behavior. When you flip someone off instead of waving at them, they usually hesitate to respond. You can tell the mood of a dog owner by His or Her Dog Poo Bag Swing. I call this the DPBS Correlation. If it swings quickly they are usually upbeat or in a hurry. If the swing is minimal, they could just be standing or lack any enthusiasm which could be interpreted as a more somber disposition. 'Some Gum on my Shoe' is still chewy. 'Lunch' makes me want to go get some fries at Chips. I said, 'Chips'! I am now friends with Chips. That makes me feel Chiperrific!! 'To Love Sophia' is from Stevens Point. I like kittens and puppies and they like me! I want to go down the Catsup Slide at the Hamburger Fair. I think Crayons should be their own food group. I once made a Crayon salad. It was colorful and tasted like a wax rainbow. Reality is based on perception and the truth is subjective. Look there's a squirrel! As a suggestion, these songs should be played LOUD! I'm not trying to tell you what to do but this suggestion is appropriate due to the nature of the material and how the material was constructed. Volume was a conscious consideration in the process of creating feel. Plus, I'm deaf from listening to music too loud. Huh? Again, you can do what you want to but really the volume being higher than normal idea is a good choice. Remember you made the decision not me, I just suggested what I consider optimum listening pleasure. Most people are listening to these songs at a higher volume so it wouldn't be bad if you did it also. If everyone is doing it how could that be wrong. Go ahead. Just turn it up a little bit at a time and then when you can feel the beats that might be good. Then maybe even turn it up as soon as your ears habituate to the excess. The decision is yours. Try it. Headphones work great for aural satisfaction. Thank you.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 9/22/2006
Band Website: tolovesophia.rpmchallenge.com/
Band Members: There are no band members. Well, there is me, I do write, record and play all the instruments on these songs but I refuse to take full credit for them because this is how they evolve. I put myself in a meditative state by repeating the mantra 'Gad Zooks' over and over until I've reached the Alpha state which is not Arizona. I then reach into my magic bowl of Crayons and channel the Great Crayon Spirit, "Giant 64 Pak". When I awake out of this self induced trance I have made stacks of Crayon drawings. My job now is to turn these magic drawings into sound. As you can now understand I can't take full credit for these eclectic combination of sounds because they are just interpretations of channeled Crayon drawings. Thank you, and especially thank you ''Giant 64 Pak"!!!
Influences: Everything........ King Crimson, Meshuggah, Tool, Vernon Reid, George Carlin, Monty Python, Nature, Friends....... Pat Mastelotto, Bill Bruford, Danny Carey, Terry Gilliam, David Lynch, Trey Gunn, Adrian Belew, Robin Trower, Les Claypool, Tim Alexander, Henry Rollins, Everyone......Peter, Jon, Scott, my brother Mike, Jake from 'Elf Lettuce' he coined the phrase "If Bee's Could Swim" in reference to 'To Love Sophia' which of course was the inspiration for the song .......Nothing
Sounds Like: As an educated individual ( I don't necessarily mean scholarly, just willing to learn, evolve) you should question everything, textbooks, history, gossip, assumptions, addictions, defense mechanisms (ex. denial) popular media...........this is just a video but, if it makes you think, how can it be wrong. You decide if this is a potential truth. Can you think for yourself? ..
