About Me

After a small quarter-life crisis two years ago, I quit my grown up job and moved home to the parentals.
Thus began the journey to become the next Richard Branson, only without the hot air ballooning, and the sleazing onto scantily dressed air hostesses.
I took dancing lessons for almost ten years, yet am unable to master a simple windmill turn.
I am a professional gig-attender and CD-purchaser.
I need a chaperone when I enter record stores ever since Blow Out 2006 when I spent an unmentionable amount of money in half an hour.

Not you too

Dammit, now it's EMI's turn to sack staff in a bid to keep the almighty dollar. But how can you operate a business (even the business of music) without the people? Big acts are leaving majors and eit...
