i'm annoying...

Due to the current state of the music industry, I have to participate in social media, but that doesn't mean I can't have fun with it sometimes.

It's a well known fact of the internet that I have a Facebook. I use it mainly as my promotion whore because I can't figure out Twitter, and I don't mean I can't figure out Twitter in the 60 year old man sense, which would cause me to ask questions like, " What's a Kanye West?" or "What are you kids doing on the Twitter anyway?" I just haven't found a way to use it effectively.

Facebook is just as pointless as the rest of them, but it can also be the most enjoyable. Besides commenting "First!" on wall arguments that are already 15 posts long, I also do things like this...

If you like my music and want to be my friend, do not be afraid to add me. Just be aware I may pull geeky stunts like the one above.

Thanks for listening, I really do appreciate it!

rip jay reatard...

Godspeed your crazy punk genius!

I wasn't fortunate enough to know Jay personally, but I've been a fan for quite sometime. With all the cheats and tricks the music industry plays on us, Jay Reatard was exactly what we needed... a great songwriter who didn't take kindly to nonsense.

I recently saw him in Chicago. Like most punk rockers he had the "fuck you" attitude nailed down, but few had his raw emotion and songwriting prowess to back it up. His live show was a blitzkrieg of noise and energy, and I loved every minute of it.

I'm not going to spout off cliches about how only the good die young and I'm certainly not going to speculate how he died, but I will say this... They just don't make 'em like that anymore.


We miss you Jay!
