Here's the Problem

So those mix CDs I made to send out are clitchy. Yeah, I don’t know why. Some don’t play in standard CD players, and some don’t load properly onto computers. So blame memorex. Here’s the deal though. Give me a few days and I will work out all the kinks and have them out to you ASAP. Ok?

The Editors

For the most part sound like Ian Curtis’ ghost singing for post- Joy Division act New Order. Its haunting. http://www.myspace.com/editorsmusic (Fans of The National take note.)

People are asking me my view on Angels & Airwaves'...

People are asking, mostly, because they know Angels & Airwaves were the first band that I downloaded a leaked album from (We Don’t Need to Whisper, 2006). The same happened when AvA released I-Empire in 2007. In fact, I received a promo copy with five songs before the release. It wasn’t bad. Truthfully they aren’t a bad band, they are just a band that seems awkward. I believe...
