would it be so bad to fade and not burn away?

About Me

my name is aaron (james) (gershman) and I have a band called spacemuseum.

I grew up on the mean streets of fairfield county, south-western connecticut's most deadly ghetto, with only one thing on my mind; orthodontistry...after recieving the news that I wasn't "dental school material", I figured I had no choice but to become a world-class rock and roll star, so I guess I'll give that a try for a bit.

this is the bio that appears on the back of my rookie card:

Sounds Like:

the latest EP that I recorded is inspired by two of my favorite songwriters, elliott smith and kurt cobain and I'd say that the music sounds like a pretty accurate mixture of their styles (which sounds surprisingly like "the bends" by radiohead).

if I were asked to describe my music in two words I would call it space-pop. In three words, I would go with california brit-pop

here's what other people say my music sounds like:

"Such a lush sound with lots to discover on every subsequent listen. [It] reminds me a lot of Sloan with the shifts from major to minor and the Beatle-esque pop sense."
-Al Grego, soundclick.com

"In the grounded pop vein of Wilco, Aaron Spacemuseum does a nice job of mixing instruments and lyrical content to weave textural song material."
-c0nsensus.com

"LA folk-rock, laid back country vibe, relaxed beat, and smooth lyrics...it sounds cool as all hell."
-Don Klaus, RockZone

"dolphins fucking"
-jenny mccormick
Record Label: rookie card records
