"radio music sucks! commerce kills! kill commerce."
about me
Major multinational corporations have caged music like chickens in a coop. At the same time we have been forced to step on their filth and consume bands that are less than mediocre. The net has opened the cage, and I am running free.
why i'm a source

i'm into
Riding my bike, music, reading the Onion, staying up until 4am, cake.
state of mind
Peaceful until you cut me off while I am riding my bike!
