It's the cracked ones who let the light in ...

About Me

what the heck -- everyone else is doing it, so some friends and i decided to form a band ... we sound worse than everyone else, so we like to think of ourselves as special ... no really, i'm in the best dang band in the whole dang world, dang it!!! it's just that no one knows it cuz we only play in our studio ... it's just better that way ... we're trying out a new marketing technique that no one's thought to try yet ... we'll let you know how it goes ... let's see ... i hate all music, so send me bands you think i haven't heard of so i can listen and then tell you that they suck ... don't worry, i'm always honest about everything .... (sorry, that was a lie) ... but here are some things that may or may not be true -- i love lots of local music and music in general, especially rock, classical, and flamenco; swing dancing and latin dancing; running and working out and biking; an ice cold beer now and then; hanging out with my friends; traveling the world when time and money allow; learning languages (especially spanish); writing and reading; poetry; hiking and camping; all animals; meeting new people. send me a note -- i'm not really a jerk, i just act like one .... "It's the cracked ones who let the light in ..." -- Daniel J. Riddle (King Black Acid) .... hear 4 more mp3s on Matt's site: http://www.myspace.com/mattdoolittle ...
