About Me

Momus:
"I was at a party last year and a little girl drew a picture of all the guests round the table except me. I pretended to be offended and drew myself into her picture, but she ran away screaming and bawling. I had to erase my self-portrait before she'd calm down. That says it all. Our little pictures and our little songs are more important to us than the life they occasionally portray. The world in the end is beyond our control and doesn't care about us. But in our pictures we have the illusion of making sense of the world, improving the world, taking control of it. And suddenly it's no longer either the world or our vision of it, it's a new world, a thing in itself. The drawing comes to mean more to us than the scene it depicts."
Music/learnings/games/anime/philosophy/movies/bla de bla/art. If for some reason you wanted to know me a bit more in depth, the place would be my much more sincere livejournal .
I'm a major component of "MagiTek" , a musical project of electronica and geek rap tales describing the timelords of dimensional rhythm.
I worked for a long while with "Krondor Krew" .

Rain falls on everyone

We had to stand in line in the rain for over an hour last night, but it was worth it. That was a damn good Smashing Pumpkins show. Expanded jam sessions and a good balance of oldest to newest material...
