Oh Goodness, is this where I sell myself? I can say I play piano, sing, write and generally try to coordinate these things in a way that is pleasing to the ear without dissolving into packaged pop madness. Indie music and indie musicians completely rule my heart; I think it is the bravest and best thing to take wood and bone and flesh and make music from them; if you think about it; it's really a miracle. In fact, everything is a miracle. You, reading this blurb about me, perhaps an old friend or a total stranger...perhaps a music lover who stumbled onto this page...we are not separate, you and I. Welcome to these thoughts, these notes, this sci-fi miracle of technology giving you strangers who become familiar. I have made this music for you and I. I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
"DJ Monkey …soul-stirring, excitingly edgy music…just disturbing (read ‘mind-f**king’) enough to demand attention. There is a whole spice rack of auditory flavors here, served up like fractured poetry on a collection of intensely listenable Hallmark cards from Hell." Bill Margold, Cinema Seen, L.A. X..Press

Allison, I gotta say, I keep falling in love with your music and your lovely ways the more I come to your myspace and youtube page! I know it's crazy, but I feel that, had we the chance to meet, we'd become fast friends. LOL. Keep all this going, you're IT, girl! XOXO
i think we are lucky to live these lives we lead. to be a part of the cultural, political and scientific conversation of our time, at and on any level; and be able to work one's way through life basically supporting oneself through their art. amazing! frustrating sometimes? yes. unfair sometimes...what isn't? not a religious person, but know we are blessed. that is why it is imperative that we speak up when we do see injustice. it is our responsibility for being so blessed. - joey alkes of dj monkey
