This shoudl be exciting...many are asking about that fabulous song on my page! I shall leave it there while I cross the ocean! xx
Hi all,
Feel free to check out JOhn JOhn's two new tracks online... It's corny, it's tacky, and hopefully, hopefully, someday it'll be as beautiful as Alaska in winter must be...
I love all these tunes! Fine work, mighty fine. The site is brilliant within itself too! Why only have four tunes when you can have eight? Awesome.

I'm sending you my EP tomorrow.
Hi, Thanks for adding me to your Friends. I went to your site yesterday and listened to all the songs, they're so beautiful and they perfectly embody what Alaska must be in the winter: pure and graceful. Thanks for the music.
So when I eat laser pie, will I explode in glorious, misery-ending ball of laser beams? Wow, that would be a great way to check out. No really, I know why I'm sick: I haven't been drinking enough beer!
