I adore music, the music that I feel drawn to is something I find vital and inspirational, music brings so much to my life, I don't know what I would do without it. So many people I have encountered in my life seem merely content to let the radio, the media, and marketing companies dictate what they should listen to, I've never understood that kind of passive reaction to music. I'm constantly searching for new music to transcend the blandness of everyday existence. My drive for music is pretty fuckin' insatiable. I enjoy the ragggaaarrrrgggghhhh and the exquisitely pretty. Shimmery and spiky. Transcendent and nefarious.

Too small to pursue his dream of becoming a closet monster, despite being rather adept at lurking and looming (for as we all know, lurking is loitering with intent), young Jimmy now spends his days sleeping and his nights drawing weird things.
