breathe out, so i can breathe you in

About Me

"to prove that i am right would be to recognize that i can be wrong." ~suzanne, the marriage of figaro

"man is nothing else but that which he makes of himself." ~sartre, existentialism is a humanism

a recurring thought... i shouldn't have to be willing to settle for anything.

oh, and this is where you can find my new bands: loverlee

Pssst! Calamity Magnet is awesome. Pass it on!

The brainchild of Sara Radle (of The Rentals), Clamity Magnet melds the world of indie-pop with girl group harmonies of the sixties, adding a hint of country flavor and the occasional peek at a Beatles influence.
