well…
as you may have noticed I haven’t been on here in a long time,…

I genuinely don’t really know or have ever known how many people read my website…

so hello all 6 of you, that I know from when I was 19.
hi again.

hmmm..

ok let’s start with this.. I haven’t completely given up. I just have been traveling for work and working to travel… that I really haven’t been able to put anything up here.
and it’s also been nice not to have to keep such a watchful eye on this site..

maybe I should start a tumblr, thoughts?/

some links..

as always I like to promote my friend Brian’s label, Lovitt.

he has two new records coming out..

buy them HERE and HERE>
one has jason my old friend from Frodus on drums.

I have also been going record shopping crazy buying everything I can get my hands on.
I really need an intervention, I am sure of it.

what else?

what else is new?

I’ll be traveling in a week on a trip I really need and want..
besides that…

find me out there.

talk soon.
