"Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die." - Mel "The Maestro" Brooks
Music
Just spin it, play it, blast it. It's all good. Unless it's most Styx or Heart. Perhaps Yee Olde Buttfuck said it best: "I got a job just so I can kill my boss. Today I shit my pants in the food stamp office...again."

About me: I do not have good genes for punctuality, gambling, sports, or billiards. According to others: irresponsible, flighty, "a nice guy", polite, flaky, self-absorbed, "the absent minded professor", perpetually late, selfish, "a ridiculous human being".....etc.
They're probably right. I just figure I'm a Gemini.
Also, if you loan me something, it's probably gonna be a long time before you get it back. That's how I roll.
I live in Brooklyn now, work too much, and play music with my bands Antler (www.myspace.com/antlerforever) and The Passengers Will Please Refrain (www.myspace.com/alrigthhamilton)

PS - Pass this on to your friends and feel free to advertise yourself on my page. I can't stand those who are only about themselves. You can never truly receive unless you give back.
Darren! So today, for the first time in forever, i listened to Mule...and of course thought of you. Goddamn they're good. And you are good.
