    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
    i'm into
    * jazz: Louis Armstrong, Anthony Braxton... * Little Richard et al * 60s psychedelic * 70s: punk, funk and reggae * "world" music - e.g. Thomas Mapfumo et al * sound-collage - e.g. Negativland et al * spoken-word - e.g. Jello Biafra et al
    state of mind
    "I'd rather have this bottle in front of me... than a frontal lobotomy."
