About Me



Try the BEST MySpace Editor and MySpace Backgrounds at MySpace Toolbox ! I make music that sounds good to the ears of musicians I respect and myself. Sometimes we make music together, which is even more radical. Kind of selfish, maybe, but I figure if you're watching me, then I should be leading on in the having of good times, else you might leave, then trash my good name on the streets of your town, leaving my precious image sullied, rendering my burgeoning career defunct, and resigning the good times to be, well, not so good. I like to see your faces upturned toward the stage, light playing on it softly like the fingers of some ginger lover who's afraid to wake you. I like to see you shake it, sitting, standing, rocking out, rocking it. I feed off of your collective energy, and give you something to chew on with what I put out. We can dine together, you and I.

Book review - The time Traveller’s Wife

Every once in a while, I stumble upon an idea that strikes a king-sized chord with me. Usually, as with everyone else, it allows you a moment of projection, one that's entirely founded. Not like the r...
