Sounds Like
A barrel of Quincy Jones apples
falling into a clown's vagina
on Halloween day in a coffee shop
in Hoboken, New Jersey during
Gary Sinise's 2nd bar mitzvah.
NOTHINGFUL is a san diego native-(american).
His Banglamexican birth-heritage allows him
spangles of opportunity in which to dimension
into the angles of music and rhythms written in the air.
We are 23 years old, one person only.
Sings and plays an acoustic bass guitar and sings.
Sometimes he brings his dobro with him
and various other accoutrements.
The songs are uncoventional in as so many
ways as he is musically untrained.
To play the bass in the way that Nothingful
makes it would be to so as in a tuning other than standard.
I am inspired by Laziness and randomness.
The lyrics come all sorts of ways: from the air;
from scholarly pursuits; from blurted random thoughts;
from object-things in the room, and some are surprisingly (to me) autobiographicalistic.
Uncalled for? yes. Unexpected? yes. Lazy? big yes. Rhymes? usually usually.
QUOTES/REVIEWS: Neal Burger of Movie Night: "that song makes me want to eat fries from canada steak burger" Tim Kinsella of Joan of Arc: "Your music reminded me of Gastr Del Sol mixed with Mike Watt. How is that possible?" Tom Nieves of Movie Night: "___________________ ______"

=====================

I'm pushin' an elephant up the stairs.
