Algemeen
I have a catalogue of over 200 original songs covering all ends of the spectrum. Running the gamut from heavy poppy and mainstream, to quiet clean refrains, to melodic noise jam sonic sound collage experiments, to powerful, sad, uplifting, commentarial, invocative, evocative, emotional, personal, yet universal and relatable, uniting, rallying, honest and true heartfelt reflections and comments about all of us, our world, were I’m heading and where I hope to be.

Music is the vehicle of unity, understanding, empathy and identity, of a sense of belonging, a force and power greater than most any other. Music gives us a chance to share our souls intimately. That is what I aim to do in all my songs. They can be taken at face value or interpreted into a meaningful mantra unique to each individual as an incantation or evocation. Or they can simply just speak as themselves, a song of passion and soul carefully constructed to connect to everyone as they need it to for them. To mean what they need it to mean for them.

That is my goal. That is why I play Music. And that is why that is all I can do, because there are people out there who need these connections to there soul and spirit, and it breathes life. And besides it is fun to Rock.

The good old U.S. Government Has been hard at work for us folks. On what you ask?
well, Perhaps the Economic crisies, the recession, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, or war crimes charges against George W. Bush?
Nope,
Absinthe.
That's right folks they have repealed the ban on REAL ABSINTHE or ABSYNTH (however you spell it it works), just not the fake Absinte stuff!!!!!!!
Now we can all get drunk and cut our ears off.
This must be part of Their New plan and Effort to ensure that we:
* Get fucked up enough to forget how Fucked we really are.*
Whats next? A reversal on the opium ban?
(one can only hope, ha ha)
So Anyway, kick back, or fall down, and rejoice in the fact that Absinthe is hear to stay in America, and It should be on a shelf at a liquor store near you in time for new years.
I really do love this country now, and since I no longer have to buy absinthe off line from the Czech republic the money I'll save can be used to build my secret lair, Hot Damn 2009 gonna be a fun year.
USA! USA! USA! ooorahh
Peace, love, and Absinthe all around,
Joe
