About Me

there's a band with trask and jean chaine that we're calling 'MISTER. DIX'. it's fun and it's electric and it's better than your mom.
sometimes we play, and we call it ADAPT. adapt includes trask and j.k.
i do some comedy with touchpants , it's pretty offensive. not for little children or big babies...
there's a noisy band too, called warpseven .
but most of the time it's just me. usually someone comes by and screams along though and it changes regularly, like anything good in life.
cheers,
Colby

Sounds Like: hmmm. still haven't got this one sussed.
changes with the lineup i'd say, when left to my own devices, it's a little bit of that weepy singer songwriter sappy stuff mixed with angry crescendos and violent choruses.
i like the sound of everything. i like the sound of water dripping from a faucet. slowly. i like the sound of ac/dc and nick drake on the same mix tape. i like the way wood sounds when it burns. i like the sound of air seeping out of a popped tire. i like the sound of a girl next to me sucking the little drooly bits as she sleeps. i like the sound of my hand over your mouth too...
i love that mixed feeling of fear and euphoria when a noise surprises you. a quickening, almost ecstatic pulse of the heart that only a sound can create. a nauseous tremor and an opening of the eyes that makes for a surreal light, not unlike dreaming.
i hate the sound of loss, and the sound of failure. i also hate that sound a tummy makes after two McD sliders, because it is a sound that clearly fortells of doom and pain.
Type of Label: None

matt and kim

if however, you are a fan of matt and kim, then you probably saw them live and were changed by good people for a good reason.

fall out boy.

if 'fall out boy' has anything to do with you, your profile, your life, your existence, you are a toolbox fuckbag.
