About Me

Created with mySpace Profile Editor"I would like to leave behind me the conviction that if we maintain a certain amount of caution and organization we deserve victory[....] You cannot carry out fundamental change without a certain amount of madness. In this case, it comes from nonconformity, the courage to turn your back on the old formulas, the courage to invent the future. It took the madmen of yesterday for us to be able to act with extreme clarity today. I want to be one of those madmen. [...] We must dare to invent the future." Thomas Sankara (December 21, 1949 – October 15, 1987)
THE WHIRLING DERVISH: Caveat Emptor
Indie rock smoothed out on the noise pop tip with a post-punk appeal to it.
