If it ain't power pop ... it's not here!

About Me

Best description about me ... hmmmmm.Well ... in a nutshell it's a power pop nympho. Lush harmonies, catchy little hooks. That's what I love and love to write in my little dungeon of a basement studio. Like an EEEEEVIL professor running bizarre earth shattering experiments. I can't help it. It's me and I have no apologies for it either. If you don't like it then poopoo on you! :-)So who does float my yacht? Well the list would be endless but here are a just a few ... Jellyfish, The Tories, The Churchills, The Posies, Ben Folds, Matthew Sweet, Jason Falkner, Teenage Fanclub, Cheap Trick, Hero Pattern, Readymade Breakup, The Blakes, Fountains of Wayne, Foo Fighters, Weezer ... and I'm getting lazy at remembering the rest.I also moonlight as Tyra Banks moonlighting as a stripper. Oh wait ... wrong profile.

Indoctrination

I realize that I'm not one to blog much.  I just never have the motivation to come up with something witty or funny to say.  I just sit here and think ... mostly about nothing.  I guess...

UFC

Ok.  I have no idea why but I'm infatuated watching Ultimate Fighting.  These guys just beat the crap out of each other with such style.  They know all these submissions and everything....
