Just who am I? Or maybe better yet what am I?

I am just some guy who likes music and loves to write and record songs in his basement. Sure I was in a band in college, who wasn't. I wasn't any good then and I'm not much better now.

Are my songs any good? Some people think so? Many times I think the songs are good, but could be better with better execution and additional skills. But then who doesn't wish they could sing like Mark Farner and play like Frank Zappa. Well, I can't and I don't.

I do think my songs are sometimes funny, sometimes thoughtful and always about something going on around me at the time. Give them a listen if you want (But be sure to lower you expectations at the door).

But why should I talk about myself when I can let others talk for me. I mean why blow your own horn I means more coming from a third party. Maybe I can take three words out of context and use them on the cover of my next CD. Maybe I should just do nothing and let the world decide my musical fate. Maybe I should just shut up!

The Amazing BFD Is Your Worst Nightmare

Hey, how’s it going? Here is some more of the same by the lame and uninspired BFD. Sure, it’s true that he has to make them because of some strange genetic defect brought over from Germany in the 1880’s, but that doesn’t mean you have to listen to it. In fact, I advise you to just put this CD aside until 2047. By then science will have advanced enough to provide a cure for the insane music of the BFD. Sure it all sounds the same, but that is part of the plan, part of his insidious brainwashing technique. Don’t let his normal guy looks fool you. He’s a madman without talent or direction. A true lightening rod for all that is wrong with home recording today.
