Your best friend who just came home from summer break, and had a girlfriend but broke up, and is excited about the fall, thinks about saving the world, but doesn't know how, so they try and write beautiful songs, and call you at midnight and wake you up and tell you they wrote a song and it's sort of about you.
Once upon a time, a young lad with the surname Trew wandered the reaches of the Olympic Penninsula. He happened upon a drummer without a kit, but could play beats on a keyboard. "Nater" Trew said," Buyest thou a Drumset and Move to Seattle..." and so Nater did. As they quested forth among the coffeeshops and dregs of the harder side of the Ave (the west side, of course), they encountered a red-haired Naomi(well it's purple now,or black), who did not join (but then she did) but she offered forth a child, a child of jazz and blues and plastic piano-like instruments. And Lo, they called him Micah. From the open door of a basement in the U district you may hear the pounding of Nater's kit, and your heart may cry out in answer "... to make folk phat, to make folk rock, to meet girls, and... make more folk... rock."
This band of adventurers sallied forth into the bowels of Seattle on a mission from Van Morrison. Together, they will bring folk rock to the world and save us from the rising spectre of ... uh ... people that don't like folk rock.
hey how goes it? i got songs from my new album if you want to check them out. also trying to get my song on radio indie if you could rate it would help out a lot. http://radioindie.com/node/1857 this is my personal and music page. so feel free to comment, messege, ect. i reply :):)
hey mike. you've been on my mind lately. i wanted to say hi. it's been a long time. how are you doing? what are you up to these days? remember the night you came over to my house and played sympathetic vibrations for my mates and i? that was good.
anyway, i live in england now, but if you have a gig happening between the 9th and 19th of sept, let me know. i will be in the area for my brother's wedding.
All the girls out there are totally lying when they tell you that size does not matter. Want proof?
I am telling you this because it is the honest truth, look I should know, they say that it is all in the way you use it, not how big it is, well I got news for you all, that is pure lies.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that Joey has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny wang and in 4 months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow pills from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them.GRKAS.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three fridays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with pill bottles in it, there was like 9 full bottles and 4 empty ones, all ordered from GRKAS.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his prick and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 bottles from the website at GRKAS.COM for you know who.. he does not have a myspace account, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the pills will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing. GRKAS.COM

we thank you for accepting us - we hope you were not waiting long but we are a bit choosey about who we want as friends. Please listen to our songs and tell us your favorite. We will write back, bisous
The time has come to voice concern against conglomerate monopoly in the entertainment industry. A letter is ready for you, to read, print, sign, and mail.
If you are a citizen of a different country, then we invite you to read and modify this letter; addressing it to the proper antitrust authorities in your country or region.
This department is responsible for investigating ALL suspected anticompetitive and exclusionary behavior in commerce. The more letters they receive, the more they will understand the severity of this issue. Let's work together peacefully towards positive changes, in the entertainment industry.
EQUAL RIGHTS for independent record labels worldwide.
Feel free to distribute this letter amongst your friends, family, and all independent record labels you know; with ABSOLUTELY NO major label or conglomerate affiliation.
If they agree with the letter, then they should mail it to the proper antitrust authorities (depending on where they live).
WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER...PEACEFUL CHANGE IS POSSIBLE...LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD!
Read the letter! It's located in our blog.

Thanks in advance for your support of EQUAL RIGHTS for independent music!
The true independent music community has been marginalized into obscurity,
by exclusive agreements between major labels, big radio stations, and all others who require a major label affiliation; in order to gain access to market opportunities.
True independents are SMALL BUSINESSES, who have a right to grow and prosper in the World of Commerce.
We have a right to bring our products to market, and to fairly and ethically compete for market share, within our industry.
Competiton is a necessary thing in the World of Commerce; to block it, control it, deny it, refuse to deal, conspire against it, or even the ATTEMPT to do any of these things...is AGAINST FEDERAL LAW!
Antitrust laws were created 100 years ago, to protect this right.
However, these laws have failed to protect true independents; from the anticompetitive exclusionary behavior that comes from the exclusive agreements between entertainment industry Gatekeepers, and the Twin barriers of major labels and big radio.
A music revolution is on the Horizon. Those indies who stand up TOGETHER to fight for what is right, will be remembered as The Brave Ones, who weathered the storm; that brought about positive changes in our industry. The time is now for this change. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE.
We must act together as one Great Community; not as scattered and harmless individuals, across this beautiful World.
Change and success is possible, but it is not; as long as most of us just accept things the way they are.
"TO EVERYTHING...TURN, TURN, TURN...THERE IS A SEASON...TURN, TURN, TURN...AND A
TIME TO EVERY PURPOSE UNDER HEAVEN"
