    about me
    If you're on this site, I'm sure you love music as much as I do. I'm from Berkeley, California, and have been interested in music for as long as I can remember. There are so many incredible bands out there... I hope I can bring some of them to you. Hope you like it! (if you don't, you just don't have good taste like me)
