About Me


Bass players make better lovers. True Shit.
Verloren ist nur, wer sich selbst aufgibt.
I play the fat strings and make growls for these dudes.
The flowers are already dead. Replaced with girl pants wearing, mosh call, make-upped rockstars. Lookin so cute in your promo shot. Crying like a bitch cause you didn't get your guarantee. Guess what I saw your video and it sucked. And your label promoting this shit. You can all go fuck yourselves.
The scene just turned corporate and I got you to thank for that. So much for free thought and five dollar basement shows. Conform and you got a chance to get on some dope rock tour. Endorse some clothes and wear them on some huge stage. But I'll stick to playing on floors. Among friends renting out halls.
Gimickless. Telling it like it is. I know some of you have a problem with that and if you do, chances are you're part of the problem. This is an ideology in which my influences paved the way. I've done my best to give back lyrically. Read the insert if you can't understand me. I can't possibly scream any louder than this. I am the voice of the underground. This could be my last transmission.
Download this shit I could give a fuck.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:



Music:

I know nothing of delicacy blossoming beneath flesh. Tickle my fancy with visions of "Perfection," on infinite wings I fly from affection. Syllables, images, deny self-worth; the pain of convention. There's a desire to validate this body. There's a need to eradicate this paradigm.

Movies:



And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother!

Books:

He wondered how many people were destitute that same night even in his own prosperous country, how many homes were shanties, how many husbands were drunk and wives socked, and how many children were bullied, abused or abandoned? How many families hungered for food they could not afford to buy? How many hearts were broken? How many suicides would take place that same night, how many people would go insane? How many cockroaches and landlords would triumph? How many winners were losers, successes failures, rich men poor men? How many wise guys were stupid? How many happy endings were unhappy endings? How many honest men were liars, brave men cowards, loyal men traitors, how many sainted men corrupt, how many people in positions of trust had sold their soul to blackguards for petty cash, how many had never had souls? How many straight-and-narrow paths were crooked paths? How many best families were worst families and how many good people were bad people?
When you added them all up, and then subtracted, you might be left with only the children, and perhaps Albert Einstein and an old violinist or sculptor somewhere.

Heroes:



My technique is laughable at times. I have developed a style of my own, I suppose, which creeps around. I don't have to have too much technique for it. I've developed the parts of my technique that are useful to me. I'll never be a very fast guitar player. I don't really know what to say about my style. There's always a melodic intent in there.

Never for you. Always for me

It's been a year. A whole fucking year. If you told me I'd still feel guilty about it, I'd have taken you as seriously as Nostradamus. I guess the residual guilt is just proof of the legitimacy of my ...

ode to a dancing fetus

Babies eat the fruit of the frosty loins upon my gently pulled finger.Scabies home in on the horniness of the gloody ass-stained groove of love.Rabies feast upon the bloody remains of villains whose n...
