"Scanning da universe for deep beats"

    about me
    Yeah yeah, music is a big part of my life. It's the soundtrack, the best friend, the thing that tends to get trapped in my head way too much.

    If you like a nice mix of indie rock, California soul, decent pop, and worthwhile electronic music then download and listen up!

    Oh yeah, I keep a blog now.
    why i'm a source
    I have always enjoyed turning people on to new music and artists they hadn't heard about. I've spent lots of time figuring out how I can make this simpler for me to do while at the same time affecting more people - stay tuned, there's much more to come.
    i'm into
    music, liberty, hope, being outside, trail running, seeing live bands, writing stupid little songs
    state of mind
    Interstellar
    favorite bands
    Don't make me do this... Download some of the tunes listed on my profile instead of reading this list! My favorite listens will be much more up to date than anything I could type here.
    favorite movies
    Tron, 2001, Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi, Blues Brothers, Hot Dog, Caddyshack, Lord of The Rings I-III, The Godfather I and II, most anything by PT Anderson.

    Yes, these movies show sophomoric taste. But it says "Favorite Movies" not "Favorite Films."
