    about me
    "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture." Isn't music such is a frivolous, self-indulgent waste of time? There's absolutely no PURPOSE in it. That's why its so essential. I'm a total slacker.
    why i'm a source
    The whole institution of music as we've known it has radically changed. MP34U.com takes the original concept of college FM radio programming to the Internet. It's a privilege to contribute. You can contact me through my MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/geekofbands
