Yup... that about sums it up.
I'm an open mind and don't have any stringent criteria for friends. However. I submit the following: NO LIARS, NO DRUG ADDICTS, NO NARCISSISTS, NO MISANTHROPES. Simple, eh?
BANDS: I don't mind band requests. If you're rock, punk, post-punk, horror punk, deathrock, darkwave, dark-electronic, or local to Seattle, shoot me a line. Of course if I denied fewer than 90% of them, I'd have 10,000 "friends" like everybody else. So I'm somewhat selective. The bands on my profile either a) are affiliated with SINister Records , or b) are those I truly feel deserve to be heard.
Oh and please no clowns or ventriloquists. You scare the shit out of me (nothing personal). Thanks.
