PETE ADAMS

About Me

I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
I was born in the back seat of a greyhound bus rollin' down highway 41..... Wait, that wasn't me. I took the gondola ride through the birth canal like everybody else (barring those pesky Ceasarian Sectarians), and I'm probably going out in a garage sale Urn (I have nipples Greg. Could you milk me?), but the in between part is up to me. I guess you could say that I'm a restless dreamer, which is probably as much a result of my static reality as it is an inherent character trait, but, hey, let's not point fingers. The end result is the same either way. Thusly, this foray into the electronic arts is an attempt to exploit my innate abilities (in a good way, not in a Kathy Lee way) for fun and profit on a Saturday night!!! If that doesn't happen, then perhaps I can take comfort in the unburdening of my weary soul and stuff. At the very least, I'd like to show my kids and myself that the people who succeed are only different from everybody else in that they try harder and more often. As such, let's f*#k it up!!! I am in a band called One Horse, and many of the songs that you will hear on this page are demos that I've written for the band, but some are just for you and me! Most if not all of the music was recorded while sitting at my desk at work (in between phone calls and paperwork), though I spared my co-workers the vocals until after hours. I play everything but the drums (which are programmed). Any of the scintillating prose that you may encounter herein was also conceived of and executed by yours truly on the company dime. Many Thanks to Cincinnati Express for allowing a fat kid from the projects to reach for his dream!!!!
