    about me
    I am a 24 year old guy who simply loves music.
    why i'm a source
    I love to discover and share new music. I always have. The art of the mixtape has long been held dear to my heart, and yet they can only reach so many people. In becoming a source I feel like I can help to spread the music I love to more and more people. Hailing from Canada I hope to provide a slightly different point of view from the existing predominantly Californian source base.
    i'm into
    My tastes run from Indie Rock to Post-Rock to Emo to Hardcore to Metal to Cowpunk to Indie Pop to Singer/Songwriter to Rock to pretty much everything these days. I am always open to music and hope you are too, because that's what I am going to try and provide. My top 5 bands are: Explosions in the Sky, At The Drive-In, Do Make Say Think, ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead, The Weakerthans
    state of mind
