Sounds Like
A societally integrated cog-like drone momentarily seizing, spitting blood and oil and foam over those nearest, then silently, mechanically, slipping back into routine.
I don't want more people to listen to my music, just better people.
A note on page etiquette: 1. don't add me unless you listen to my music. I do deny people (though my friends list admittedly needs purging) 2. I will happily allow you to post a few promotional comments/pictures on here - abuse this and your comments will be denied and you may be blocked. It's fucking annoying. I don't do this to others, don't do it to me. Pay for advertising if you need it. If you don't like it, fuck off and don't add me.
In five years, no-one will remember my name, or that I ever released any music.
