You Wont Get it From Me

About Me

I've been writing songs since I was 21, and if I can, I'll write songs till my last breath.I don't write them for money. I have a job, or two. I don't write them for albums. People steal music on the 'net now. I don't write them to get women. Bought the T-Shirt. Shrunk it, bleached it, threw it out. I don't write them to send a message to the people of Earth. Let Bono do that.I write them because it's the most fun and rewarding thing ever.I think everyone has songs in them, and they should record them, Listen to them, and pass them down.Some songs are not safe for public, but most are.ModMySpace Profile Customizer

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/16/2006
Band Members:
Influences: When I was young-ish, I listened to the standard soundtrack for teen life: Led Zeppelin, Boston, Aerosmith, and basically anything the radio played.I truly thought, even though I played the trombone in school, these men playing guitars were actual Gods, and that one must GLOW like a heavenly being (or a devilish one in Jimmy Page's case) in order to do this incredible guitar thing.And ya know what?I was OK with that. It was good enough for me that I was able to even LISTEN to this stuff. I didn't need to BE one of them.Then I had a misunderstanding with a baseball, and it busted my mouth up, which subsequently ended my musical exploits with the trombone. Parents bought me a guitar. I write songs. I get a myspace account.My songwriting influences are very simple: Bob Dylan and RadioheadHowever: I will play any Motown I can wrap my fingers around. AND I enjoy quirking around with newer rock hits and making them acoustically jangle. PLUS if there's a great drinking song with a good hook, I really can't say no. IN ADDITION I try to incorporate at least one girl song per set. That is, a song written or best known as being performed by a woman. JUST AS WELL, I love a great embarrassing song, something that may make people squirm a bit.
Sounds Like: I have listened to so much music in my time on Earth, that I go to great pains to make my songs sound like NOONE else's.
Record Label: Record labels are just about extinct, no?
Type of Label: None
