I love music.

I don’t think that it is a revelation or a unique opinion to say that music fucking rocks. Music has been an extremely important part of my life. Sitting on my hour and a half middle school bus ride back in the early 2000’s desperately grasping my CD player in a futile attempt at balancing it midair to stop it from skipping from all the backwoods potholes my bus driver refused to avoid.

My first iPod, the old fat beautiful thing, was probably the most important piece of not-life-critical technology I ever got in my life. The access to hundreds of songs at the touch of a button (literally, the 4th generation iPod added that dope ass clicky middle button). Take your CD’s, throw them into your Windows XP computer, burn those files onto your harddrive, load up that old iTunes program and load them bnabies onto that iPod. Those obscure Eminem diss tracks that your grandfather’s weird Canadian friend burned onto a CD-R for you? There they are. Dark Lotus’s Tales From the Lotus Pod (the good version with Marz on it) that your friend just gave you to check out? Done. The Halo 2 soundtrack? Banging on that iPod. The switch from physical CD’s to digital little boxes seemed like something out of some future sci-fi movie and made lonely bus rides, painful breakups, and boring study halls bearable.

Now-a-days you just stream whatever the hell you want from the internet onto your pocket sized personal computer and what the hell is reality, ya know?

I have no musical talent. No one in my immediate family has any musical leanings or skill. This doesn’t stop me from sometimes trying to make short bursts of audio that kinda sorta sound good. Most of this stuff is just music I made for background music or videos for my Twitch streams, and I doubt anyone but myself will actually like any of this, but check them out and maybe get a glimpse of me, bare and naked.
