About Me

This is a Blog about writing/music/opinions and trivia. Basically I miss being a radio dj and this is me just riffing to the music. Sometimes its just about a song I might want you to hear, others maybe a poem set to music, or just a moment-- and sometimes just some trivia about what you're listening too. And yes, those are actually pics of my records and cds in the background.Remember: ALWAYS keep your speakers on when viewing my page. I use fileden to upload the music, so once and awhile the music breaks! It usually starts working by the next day, and if you know of a better place to host music feel free to let me know!
