About Me

The Musical Project of Troy Blackford
Who Is Literally Only One Person There is a lot of talk going around the world today about the state of the music industry. Indeed, the entire intellectual properties industry. Who knows what will happen? I don’t! I will probably never be able to make a living at my strange songs: but I am going to keep making them! Here is my page! This songs are all by me and recorded by me. Who am I?

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/23/2007
Band Website: atomspies.com
Band Members: Troy Blackford - Vocals, Guitar, Synth, Production, Songwriting, Webdesign, Stories & Poems, Artwork, Books
Influences: Music, Literature, Nature, Love, Companionship, the Brutal World of Man that we were sucked into in our Youth, Blissful Youth itself, Art: the constant reminder of Purity in Essence and Beauty in Knowing... We have always been affected by consideration. Ever since our youth, we felt that things such as spirits and ghosts were things of truth, and in the time since we have come to feel strangely about a number of things. It's like a siamese order of gypsies living in a basement have made a Taltos between them, and it's name is Spies. For we are here to give you a glimpse of a better world about the surface of our own. Seek it deeply and you shall find a shuddering truth buried within. These are the lines that make me whole, scour the surface and you shall see! Time within! Time withal! In no time at all you shall hear my tale and weep!
Sounds Like: The Onrushing Stampede of Pure Proportion, Intricate Detail Divorced from Reason, Purity of Sonic Ethic Mixed with Insidious Tradition, The Travail of the Ancients in Silent Reverie as they Paved the Path to Greatness, The Henge at the End of the World, a Ray-Gun Fixed to Melt the World of Microbiotics, the Felt Hammer that Crashed at the Start of the Century, feels like a Bubbling Rush of Mercy and Envy that Rises Up to Punish the Innocent with Fists of Understanding, like a Pulping Mass that Reconstitutes its self from the Elements available in its Prison and Attends Musical Mass Each Day after its Daring Escape. We are like the Vivid Truth that Pulsates Raw at the End of a Stick Poised Pointing to Heaven Above, we are of the Stuff of the Universe, Triple Stock and All Too Enticing. The Rawness of this Essence Elludes Me the Words Fall Off. This Band is Out to Get the Ghoul that Rose Up to Take Edna's Stone.
Record Label: That's What She Said Records
Type of Label: None
