Hey, man. I have to tell you, your music truly touches my soul. I'm a 16 year old American girl, and I gotta say, I can relate to your songs better than most artists. You're so talented and so beautiful. Your voice and lyrics are bone-chilling. You should visit us in the Carolinas sometime.
Peace and Harmony~

Hi, danke fürs annehmen :-)

Ich habe heute "We could have we should have we didn't" bei Skeksis Compilations entdeckt. Grandios! Da bin ich neugierig geworden und bin hier gelandet.

Alles gute aus NRW,

hey, thanks for the lovely pictures, Germany truly is DS-land! I wish I had such nice pictures to send you from rainy old England. Am half-tempted to post some shunga on here, since that's all I'm working with these days, but I guess the powers that be might censor that anyway...So let's go for books out there with weird titles
