About Me

pronounced "go-blutes"
i do it for him.
Nothing is certain but death and lesbians.
The heavily death oriented album titled "Jokes About Dead People, or Lonesome No More!!!" was recorded in the area-famous and lovable black hole known as The Cave, in the small lovable shit town of McMinnville, Oregon.
it's another acoustic selection of songs written mostly in Oregon and throughout my fun, love and hate filled, awkward and overall memorable northward road pilgrimage from my hometown of Pico Rivera, California to Oregon with a lesbian couple. It pretty much follows the different wandering ideas I brought from my hometown, blended with the beautiful new characters we came across as well as the awful bittersweet comedy and irreplaceable drama that would soon follow.
breakups, booze, weed, pills, smack, kurt vonnegut, love triangles, nervous breakdowns, panic attacks, delusions of grandeur, mario kart 64, jimmy buffett, loudon wainwright III, kimya dawson, bedbugs, mormon girls, sides taken and alliances born. think LOST but with younger people, and a lot more drugs, music, and lesbians.
in a nutshell (which what my head does not like to be called), it's sad, vunerable, depressing, innocent, awkward, painfully lo-fi, anxious, corny and funny as fuck, so I hope you enjoy it. if not it's cool. i couldn't not enjoy writing it.
