MOJO

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

From rock to soul, from jazz to folk, from dubstep to grindcore, MOJO is the magazine for music zealots the world over.

My Interests

Mixing up the medicine, taking it to the bridge, fixing a hole, fixing to die, kicking out the jams, flying sideways through time, exploding into space, taking you higher, watching the tide roll away, doing the dog (not the donkey!), moving like a parallelogram, fishing about architecture, squeezing our lemons, twisting our melons, dubbing it up blacker than dread, waiting for the man, walking the dog, running with the devil and stealing in the name of the Lord.

I'd like to meet:

People with excessively large record collections and bulging I-Pods who like to shout about music across crowded rooms for no apparent reason, safe in the knowledge that they are always right. You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
