    about me
    I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV.
    why i'm a source
    "Talking about music is like dancing about architecture." --- The whole institution of music as we've known it, i.e. since recordings became commodities, has recently radically changed. MP34U.com takes the original concept of college/independent (pre-Clear Channel) FM radio programming to the Internet. It's a privilege to contribute. --- If you're a musician and have stuff you'd like me to check out then please contact me through my MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/geekofbands -- add me as a friend then send me a message once I've added you. Thanks.
