Always a stranger when strange isn't fashionable

About Me

For those who don't know me, I am a musician in the Boston area.
From 1996-2006 I was involved with two really amazing musical projects called maudlin of the Well and Kayo Dot of which I am very proud of helping to found and take part in.
Right now I am currently taking time to focus on other aspects of my musical life, namely my solo project which is called Baliset.
I am somewhat of a metalhead with a deep apprecation of many types of music and artists.
I live a very spartan-like existence in Somerville currently while I figure out my next step.
PLEASE check out my past and present musical projects on myspace:

I blog here:

I don't know what else to tell you about myself. just ask me sometime.
Does being on YouTube make me famous now?
