Fuck your rumour mill.

About Me


My names Brendan. I make robots at uni. I like beer a lot more than you'd think. I think nangs and math rock should be married. I think the word "love" is ludacrisly over-used and generally misunderstood.
"After coming into contact with a religious man I always feel I must wash my hands."
I'm an atheist , and I dislike people who reject my opinions, but i'm open to and welcome debate. I believe in science, logic, evolution, and I live for the preservation, cultivation and improvement of society and the "culture machine". I promote an egalitarian society, and hope to improve overall standard of living/quality of life through everything I do, but if I can make loads of money doing something I enjoy that's cool too.
I play violin and pretend to play the guitar, and am working on writing and playing experimental math rock.
