survivor of the 8-bit battle

About Me

hi.
im shawn phase, the sole surviving member of the musical project temp sound solutions. and i really wish myspace wasnt made with fusebox.
if you want to hear the sounds that i have spent the last X number of years doing, go and add my band profile, it's over here and check out the newly updated band webpage at www.tempsoundsolutions.com feel free to check out the muslimgauze remix project i was a part of many, many moons ago.
i write a ton of music and do a lot of stupid things. not all of it is good for either. take that as you will. i thank you for taking the time to read my profile and maybe check out some of my music.
catch up with me on aol instant messenger: "shawn phase"
or on soulseek: "shawn phase"
if you like the music i make enough to have something a little more permanent, be it in cd format or mp3, private message me and we can work out some sort of option as far as hooking you up. the video game music cover series 'now youre playing with powar' volumes 1 and 2 are almost completely sold out, the last few copies i will have at magfest the beginning of next year, and then the initial run of 500 each will be out there. i am always taking requests for songs to cover from video games, and with the completion of the 6th now youre playing with powar cd i will have successfully ruined around 350 songs from video games..
please, if you have like 5000 friends and you are a band, dont add me!!! if you're a camwhore, dont message me, dont try and add me!!! dont make contact with me! if you are holding a guitar in your default picture, dont add me!
love,
the crowned prince of the 8-bit revolution.

Movies:

salo: the 120 days of sodom, memorial day 2000, holy mountain, zoolander, last house on the left, for catherine.

Television:

i dont watch tv anymore at all.

Books:

anything by neal stephenson. anything by philip dick. any of mick foley's books. 'johnny got his gun' by dalton trumbo, 'brave new world' or anything by aldeous huxley. 'how to party like a rock star even when you're poor as dirt' by camper english. the bible.

Heroes:

heroes are for those with little dedication or ambition. i have many people and things that i look up to, but in order to be truly prophetic, you must escape the tenet of an idol. im a big fan of rototoms, but i wouldnt say that they're my hero or anything.
