   About The Awkward Stage
Youth was a war. Youth crushed me. All I could do was play music and goof off to cope. The Awkward Stage came to me in the silence that occurred during the third dunk of my head into the jr. high toilet. Don't get me wrong, I did my share of dunking too. Which is far more shameful to me. They are honest pop songs. They are pleasant and accessible yet manage to interest and surprise. You may not like every thing I will do, but I promise it will always come from the right place. Sincerely, Shane Nelken (The Awkward Stage)

Hey there,

Here's one from left field...

Ever wondered what to do in the event of a nuclear threat?

A while ago I found stuff that inspired me to make this film:

Living Under the Shadow of the Nuclear Umbrella

Both artistic (ensure you get the background music!) and educational, it primarily comprises official British government civil defence advice.

Though source materials are quite aged, much remains relevant today.

I encourage all to visit the YouTube page to learn more (Show support! Rate! Comment!) and responsibly circulate as widely as possible, here:

Help to raise awareness.

Say have you checked out my web site recently?

Take care and keep in touch.

Best,
Faber.

Hey Shane. Glad to hear that you're heading to these parts with Carl Newman. That offer of my sofa still stands but no doubt Mr Big Rock Star is putting you guys up in fancier establishments. See you at The Luminaire! Mark
