About Me

I record music...poorly...I don't care if its not good enough for you, it was obviously good enough for me at the time. Right now I'm using the internal microphone on my laptop to do all my recordings with. I have some stuff my friend Mike recorded that sounds better. If you want it, ask, and its your's.
I try to include as many people as possible when I record. Otherwise it's sort of a lonely project.
I'm probably not going to tell you what any of the songs are about. Sometimes it's obvious, sometimes I'm oblivious to the obvious. Either way, I'd rather you listened and made the song mean something to you.
