If I like your music, chances are I'd like to have you on the show.

BUT HEY--if you are a band that I don't already listen to, give me a reason to check out your music. Please don't just send me a friend request. Chances are, I will not add you. But if you genuinely think I will like your music, tell me so. And then I'll probably listen. There are too many of you out there for me to like you all.

I like to roadtrip. If I can sleep on your couch if I ever end up in your city, please let me know and I will take you up on it. I have not been to and would like to go to New York City, coastal Maine, Charleston, Montana, LA, Portland, Russia, Quebec, Montreal, and literally any city in Europe. I would like to return sometime soon to Boston, Prague, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Atlanta, Chapel Hill, Lexington, San Diego, San Francisco and San Antonio.

Also, I'm on every online service imaginable. Livejournal. Facebook. Last.fm. Myspace. Buddytown. I like people to know what I'm doing most of the time.
I would very much like to start a music blog, but I have yet to find the time or the skills to do it. If you'd like to help me start this project, I promise to find an adequate way to repay you, plus you'll have my undying love.

Come to:
LEFT CAN DANCE
Fido's
Nashville shows(The Basement! The End! Mercy Lounge! Exit/In!)
Sunset late-night
Vanderbilt theatre
and say hello.

HEY. My myspace inbox is a terrible way to get ahold of me or to correspond with me. If you actually want to hear back from me ever, EMAIL ME at antennastoheaven.wrvu AT gmail.com.
