About Me

Blaine L. Reininger was born July 10, 1953 in Pueblo, Colorado. Then he lived a life. By and by, he founded Tuxedomoon with Steven Brown in 1977. He traipsed around America, tuxedomooning until 1980, when he began to traipse around Europe. As a direct result of all of this traipsing, many musical compositions were composed, most of which found their way to some sort of mechanical device capable of reproducing musical compositions. This was mostly for the good.
Time, Tide, Bold, Ajax, they wait for no man. Continuing to plow his way through Samsara with varying degrees of success, considerable ironic detachment, and frequent collisions with shicksal, he now makes his way here, to a place that is not really a place. Try explaining what you do here to your ancestors, next time they haunt your dreams.
For, it was written long ago, in the bit-rotten pages of Mundoblaineo.com "Many are cold but few are frozen." and "It is easier for a needle to pass through the eye of a rich man than for a camel to enter the kingdom of heaven." and further anon "Let a smile be your umbrella and you get a mouthful of rain."
I submit.
yours,
blaine
