Yeah, it happens that way with me too. I'm smack dab in the middle of a Tori feen, reading her book, looking up all her songs, trying to find her address so I can ask her to hang out with me (not stalkerish...).


But yeah, the song is great. I added it to my profile.

lol, well, Matt, unfortunately I haven't read Bulgakov's Master and Margarita. As I'm still in high school we had an option to read that book last year, but my dad, who's a total book nerd (uhm... I inherited his genes :) told me he thinks I won't get the message of the book and that I should wait for a year or so. Which is true, 'cause, for example, the first time I read Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment, I was about 14 (unlike my school mates I read and listen to music instead of watching the TV), and I didn't get the book at all. :S Last year i read it again and I realized it was much more complex and interesting than I thought. This year we are doing some totally different writers and novels, dramas etc. and I have to wait the summertime and school vacations so I can read the books that interest me. For example The Master and Margarita :P :)

Oh, and as I joined the Regispek yahoo group, and as I'm aware of your music quality - let me give you a little advice - promote yourself a bit more :) your music deserves it :)

oh, and do you know what's totally frustrating? I live in Croatia, right? (that was more of a rhetorical question :P) well, as we are kinda lame, it's VERY hard to purchase music of young talented musicians. And that IS completely frustrating me. :S ?

I've been using those sheets for a while. They're very good and I love them.

Also! I listened to your music. I enjoyed it a lot! The first one I listened to was "Just Like the Movies" I think you can guess why. : )
