Band Members: Just me. I'm working on my solo album 'Smoking out of bedroom windows' and I'm considering finding the middle ground between bedroom beat makers and guitar wielding troubadours. I love Neutral Milk Hotel more than anything. I'm a writer / actor / comedian / time waster. I enjoying drawing and pretending I'm spanish. I love making people smile. I dj occasionally and like playing 17 minute velvet underground songs.
The best piece of advice I've ever been given is:
"Before you criticise a man, you should walk a mile in his shoes. And then when you criticise him not only are you a mile away, but you've also got his shoes.'

Sounds Like: Some songs recorded very late at night. So they're done at a whisper. The guitar was / is battered and broken. Need to fix my real one. Recorded onto a computer with it's built in mic. One track, recorded live.
