About Me

One-half of Abduction (w/Michael Miley). One-fifth of Buglette. Also 100% of Kitchenette Sound System. Formerly of Catherine, Upholstery, Reliable Sound Products, Zelienople. I make a good loaf of bread (not great, but pretty good.) I spent the first 10 years of my life in an iron lung. I wasn't sick; my parents simply didn't want to take any chances.I am also lone honcho of a fake label called gutflora . It's all 3' cdr's, limited editions of 50.
