About Me

Don't "friend me" unless you know me. period. This page is zero about impressing people and 100% about keeping in touch with my friends that writing to them via my record label page was getting just plain awkward.


I run a punk rock / whatever other genres I like record label called Underground Communique. Through a lot of reflection as of late, I feel that running that label has been the most worthwhile experience of my entire life(so far). I've released about 30 records to date. Even though the label is far from being "monetarily successful", my original goal of releasing records by bands that I feel the world needs to hear has been an overwhelming success. I still stand by every release whether we've sold 50 copies or 500.
I read comic books and buy too many records.
I'm fairly anti-social most of the time.
I hate being in big crowds.
I dislike seeing bands play at big venues if at all possible.
I think Billy Bragg & Bob Mould should only release acoustic records (or at least an accompanying acoustic versions disc with every record).
I don't drink, but I like hanging out in bars and want to own one some day (the irony is not lost on me, don't worry).
I'm pretty much a hopeless, hopeless romantic too.
the world would be a much better place for two things:
one: everyone realized the best song Sick of It All has ever recorded is "Souvenir" from the "Yours Truly" album(a criminally overlooked album at that).
and
two: everyone owned this record:

You may think you speak "Standard English straight out of the dictionary" but when you step away from the Great Lakes you get asked annoying questions like "Are you from Wisconsin?" or "Are you from Chicago?" Chances are you call carbonated drinks "pop."

You're an Owl!
Old and wise, you have a thirst for knowledge and a reputation for making the right decision. This can be a lot of pressure sometimes, but you seem so relaxed and unruffled that it never seems to show. You always keep your eyes wide open and fixed on your next objective, or on the Harry Potter books, which you love. The only question you ever ask is "Who?"
