Justin Routzohn: Dateups

The Aquwa Boys - July 22, 2008

http://www.myspace.com/theaquwaboysruleyou

That's the name of the Matt Rose (of the amazing The Gluons band) side project/solo thing, and yesterday we jammed together for the first time.

It was a tad rusty, and my equipment was not loud enough for the singer/guitarist Kristen, but I think this will be pretty sweet once I get in the hang of it and actually know the songs by name..

Kind of a breath of fresh air really to play something new, so I am pretty stocked..maybe eventually I can get my hand on recording some keys with em too, who knows..but I do know one thing, this is all going to be pretty wild

New CD Out Today! - May 15, 2008

Well it has been quite a while since I posted...my site turned a year old back in April and important updates don't seem to happen near as much as they should, so here is one for ya..

Created back in November 2007 was some instrumental demos I hoped to ofuse with some poetry I had written. For whatever reason, this was never completed (sound familiar?) and the project just collect dust on my laptops hard drive. I knew where it was, I just didn't know if I would ever come back to it. And sure enough I did. I just didn't feel like messing up the balance of the album and didn't record anything more for it.

So today I release to the world The E.uphoria P.roject II (or EP II).

You can download this album from Archive.org like the rest of mine. The links are down below and eventually in my "Free Music" section when I get the time to get that up to date.

Enjoy!

Chunk of old news - January 15, 2008

So did you miss me? I really didn't go anywhere these past few months, I just have rather been swept away by the tyrant hands of big corporation working and worked most of the holidays.

I really haven't done much as far as staying on task with my new projects go. But here is a list of what happened (for those who obviously don't check out the myspace).

1. I cut my hair on the 20th of December, 2007. That is right, that long ultra messy, super frizz mess is all gone. I now think I look like I am 14 again.

2. On the 29th of December, 2007, I played my first solo gig. More info below.

3. ....um, that really has been about the two only exciting or super dramatic things that have happened since October.

But like I said earlier, I did play my first solo gig @ a birthday party/gig/get-together event with a band on the Dayton scene that I enjoy quite a bit, Waiting to Shine. It really was just an open environment that night as I played a few of my solo songs in front of just a bunch of friends that came to party with Waiting to Shine. W. 2 S. played too, but birthday boy/bassist Jaime was getting well under the influence of some alcohol, and after a few times running back and forth, he didn't come back..

here is my official review of the night..yes, even including my own show review from my perspective lol. I already forgot most of the songs I played now *~*..it wasn't a very big set because I didn't wanna hold up W. 2 S. from playing.

- Justin Routzohn -
In the Heat of Battle
FF9 'You're Not Alone Intro - The Piano Who Loved Me
64x64 (With Jaime, Matt, Kenny and my Dad playing various percussion)
Super Mario - The Underground (Revamped with some pieces of 'Attack of the Hammer Bros.' from Pasta For Mario and some Coldplay Clocks teaser in there)

Ah Saturday. The perfect time to go see a show right? Somewhere on the other side of town, people were getting their heads hammered with the sounds of Blaxeed, Seven Mary Three and others @ McGuffys. A sort of similar hammering to the head was happening at the Waiting to Shine practice space, not with loud obnoxious fast paced rock. The night would open up with a very nervous young boy playing on 88 keys.

That young boy, was me. Waiting to Shine bassist and friend Jaime Adamson invited me to come out to the party with my keyboards, and I was determined to play a few select songs off my solo cds.

It was not my very first time performing, and I had practiced at least 6 six songs total, but I had never played by myself in front of others.

I opened the show with one of more sensible pieces, 'In the Heat of Battle'. "I don't really have any toy guns or anything to give you an idea of how this should sound on cd" is mostly what I said to try and banter some and break the huge piece of glacial ice between me and the people staring at me and talking amongst themselves in the background.

It really wasn't as bad as I thought, and I enjoyed playing the song. My hands still shook like branches on a tree during a tornado.

Jaime, played a role in also trying to help reduce the ice and made comments like "everyone plays something different." and made the night enjoyable.

Then I came up to my song that "has only 4 known notes in it.". 64x64. Rehearsing this song really can be fun sometimes, depending on my mood (because it is improv after all, so it is kind of a hit or miss), and other times it is just like I stated, a miss. I was going to play the song no matter what the outcome, and to feed off their vibe, I asked up some people to play on my cowbell, jam block, tambourine, and the coolest percussion tool, the flex-a-tone! The odd invitation "speaking of swapping spit." came from earlier when someone mentioned playing tuba or some brass instrument. Anyway, these percussive instruments went to Kenny (my friend), my father, and Jaime. Matt from W. 2 S. did come up and joined Jaime after a little while. Honestly, I don't think the song went as well as thought. My parts for it just were not just up to par. I was just nervous and it probably effected it somewhat.

Then finally, to close out my set, the original plan was to have Kevin Cretsos play with me and do a Pasta For Mario song. Well, even though he lives in Fairborn currently, he still wasn't able to come for whatever reason, and I planned for this, by rehearsing the Mario 1 Underground theme in a dark, moody style. It included a piece from the opening notes from 'Attack of the Hammer Bros.' (A Pasta for Mario song) and a little tease with the Coldplay - Clocks intro. And then it was all over, and my face would return to its normal shade of white shortly after. i don't know if I'll play solo again, but this was definitelly an experience.

Next up, after several different odd combinations of people jammed and drum soloed (well, this was even before my set too), the final missing member of Waiting to Shine showed up, and the band was ready to perform!

The set was a pretty interesting one, featuring some songs never performed before, some familiar ones, and Sean (the drummer) even singed backup on one song! Also on the sidelines, my father played a little bit along with the band on a few songs, as did a close friend of the bands that seemed pretty well versed at the piano. He also had seemed to have played with the band before at one point or another judging by the knowledge of some unfamiliar songs or their chords.

The main drawback of the Waiting to Shine set was not being able to hear the two voices that counted the most, Kellie and Sherry. This show was at the bands practice space, and the guy running the impressively large sound board almost on the floor, didn't seem to have brought any type of speakers for the two singers. This kind of made the show partially unenjoyable, because apart from the cool jamming guitars, drums, and bass, Kellie and Sherry make up a very vital part in the band.

All in all it truly was just such a laid back environment and even more so than the usual Waiting to Shine show. Don't get me wrong, it was still quite a memourable show.

I recorded roughly 29 minutes of it on film, and over an hour of the events of that night on my soundboard. I didn't get anything from my set though..

And there you have it, that is my official review and update on everything going on. I'll try and keep this site more up to date, because I pay for the bloody thing, so I might as well use it!

Updates..kinda lagging.. - January 13, 2008

Sorry, I really haven't had much to post up here lately..okay, guess that is a stretch of the truth..I've done quite a bit lately..among the highlights, I played my first solo show..

I'll write more later, for now I gotta get prepared for another fine and dandy night in hell (work).

Marinara Mayhem and Antarctic - October 7, 2007

The debut album for Pasta For Mario has been unleashed to the world last Monday (the 1st of October). For those who are still unaware of it, it is simply a side project/band that Kevin Cretsos and I have put together.

Full of Mario cover songs and some originals inspired by the Mario series, this one is picking up a lot of attention.

It is free too, so please check it out.

Nothing else really much to report. You need to check out this band called Antarctic..they now finally have songs up for free to download.

http://www.myspace.com/antarcticsounds

Not sure how to describe them to you guys, they are quite a force to be reckoned with. Energy filled songs with catchy riffs and punching bass lines and undeniably cool ambience that hovers over the songs. I first heard of them through En Masse, and back then, they were just an ever-growing force on the Florida "fields of gold" (that is what I call it, because Florida seems to have THE BEST music right now!)...now they are looking to expand and dominate a neighbourhood near you!

Pasta For Mario Debut Album - August 30, 2007

'Marinara Mayhem' has now finally been completed earlier this week. Artwork and completing of the music video for 'Koopa Showdown' are in the works right now. T-Shirts are being considered, but nothing is definite yet.

Here is the tracklisting..obviously cover songs have their original title next to them.

1. World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 1 Overworld)
2. Piping to the Underground (Super Mario Bros. 1 Underworld)
3. Stuck In the Pipes
4. A Plumber's Quest Continues (Super Mario Bros. 3 Grasslands)
5. Attack of the Hammer Bros.
6. Perilous Pepperoni
7. Revenge of the Koopa Pt. 2
8. Mushroom Kingdom High (Super Mario Bros. 3 Overworld)
9. Doomship (Super Mario Bros. 3 Doomship)
10. Exorcism of Boo
11. Mushroom Mantra
12. Koopa Showdown (Super Mario Bros. 2 Boss)
13. Toad's House of Groove
14. Sexually Aroused Pasta

I think anyone who is a fan of my music will enjoy this disc. I wrote all of the original songs except for 'Revenge of the Koopa Pt. 2'..Kevin wrote that one, but we both contribute 50/50 on it, so..

Anyway, just keep an eye out on this space and on myspace..we'll just be giving these cd's away as usual..this time even more so because it is Nintendo's music after all on there, and I'd rather not have a billion dollar Japanese franchise sue come after me..

New CD Now Available Online!!!! - August 21, 2007

Greetings,

I would have wrote this a whole lot sooner, but due to the fact I stayed up all night just trying to set this "big news" up, I went straight to bed after getting home from work today. Long story short there, that sucked, but I managed to stay awake by consuming multiple energy drinks.

Anyway, onto the more important news :D!

If you didn't notice the new banner on top of my page when you come to it, and didn't notice the new album download icon, both on my page clear as day…then you might need to have your glasses checked. Then again I'm sure some of you thought that anyways out of disbelief that this disc is now FINALLY out!

I finally had gotten the "last piece to the puzzle" from Magen White, and after being extremely moved by her guitar work, I went straight to adding it to 'A Day in the Park' and then from there on uploading the CD entirely last night.

So it is FINALLY here everyone! Online for now, but pending money issues, I could release this CD sometime next month!

I really really hope everyone enjoys this long-awaited disc as much as I do. I even threw in some of the "Official" artwork templates I'll be using when I go to Kinko's here soon. Even if you don't download the CD, I recommend you take a sneak peak at the art that I have in store. I used some specially selected photos from this one great stock photo site, and the album cover I paid to have the rights to use it, but I fell in love with it ever since I seen it, so I had to have it.

Anyway, thank you all for reading…here is the link to check out that new cd!

http://www.archive.org/details/ADN_2007

Thank you everyone!

Also in other news, the Pasta For Mario cd is 98% complete..only the Mario theme and the drums to it are the last things to be done for the project, then the cd shall be released here in the next month or less..I'm pretty pleased with how it sounds too!

Finally, just a last tidbit of news, my new cd project/4th album, The Store, has its script finished..it probably will go through several revisions, but still..recording won't take place until further updates of microphone equipment.

So go check out my new cd, wait for Pasta For Mario, and plan on hearing 'The Store' hopefully before the year is over with!

A Day in the Month of Mr. Routzohn - July 20, 2007

I really have been neglecting any type of updates, and for that, I feel like a rather bad person. No, seriously, I do, because I bet the person who comes to this page just to read up on me, comes here and gets utterly disappointed when they can't find anything new or worth reading.....

lol who am I kidding..my fans are my best friends and random people who happen to listen to my music :)..but nonethless I love each and every one of you that comes on here and increases both my websites counters...

Anyway, if you can't tell already this is a dual post..one for myspace and my website..

So...how is everyone? :looks around nervously like in high school giving a speech or something:....beautiful weather today isn't it?

Well enough of that..here is the dateup of the week/month/several months combined into one..

I am in debt...lol..I really am..I have not been saving like I wanted to for that CD release..Magen White has probably forgotten about me or thinks my poem sucks, so probably won't make a beautiful acoustic piece to accompany my poem....My song won @ the polls for the coolest version of 'Rachels Psycho Boogie'...it sucks, Rachel doesnt even talk to me anymore :(

Life isn't too bad..but I'm not here to talk about life...

I feel as if I had an invite to an all you can eat buffet for musical inspiration, because lately in the past few weeks, I have started three new projects...

Number One..called The Store...a few songs written for it..it is about various stories and my own personal experiences in retail hell..told from several perspectives..it may or may not be cancelled...

Number Two...this is the coolest thing thats happened to me in a long time...I came up with a bunch of new music in my downtime while waiting to release 'Atramentous...', and it is called Pasta For Mario...Kevin Cretsos officially joined me, and we are working on new songs...it features most originals and so far two Super Mario cover songs...this is all for fun and is not intended for any profit of any kind. I just wanted to do a "Mario" sounding project with a lot of Mario images in it as well...

well, I guess there is no third thing going on for me..sorry, I got too excited..

That is all that has been going on with me...I will be jamming with a talented young lady named Sarah Carvey..I don't know how well it will work out, but she is looking for a drummer, and she has an amazing musical theoury, and equally amazing singing voice and guitar technique..

that's really all I have to say right now...I'm sorry for not releasing 'Atramentous...' yet..I will contact Magen today and if nothing is working for her and the poem, I will just release the entire album online for all of you...but you gotta promise to request a copy of the real cd when it comes out too!

much love to all of you...yes, I love all of you...you are my friends..my fans..my extended family..my flying purple people eaters..

PS: The Demo collection will follow almost immediately after the release of 'Atramentous...'..I am still decideding releasing a real cd or strictly internet only...

A Few Tweaks Here and There.. - July 2, 2007

I updated my site a little bit for those of you who are observant. I also hope they do not shut my account down, because my host takes my money out automatically every month, and well I didn't have any money in my account until technically this morning..so let's hope I don't owe any disgusting charges...

Anyway, nothing much to report..I had a "battle of the songs" not too long ago..I actually am surprised I didn't post anything about it on here. Oh well, nonetheless my version won, mostly because Kevin told me he'd rather use mine anyway. Both songs are winners anyway, because the "loser" was just going to get put on the upcoming unreleased cd...

Some info on that...

It is currently untitled..It will feature demos of songs from every album, even the new one yet to come out. It also will feature Kevin's cut of 'Rachel's Psycho Boogie'. It may very well be a two disc project, since I just want to put out every demo I have ever made..whether it be good, bad, ugly, or just plain not fitting with even my own music (IE: 'Atramentous Days and Nights'...I don't think the title track to the new cd would even sound good on it.).

That is all I really have to report to you guys..

Oh yes, and Happy 4th of July to everyone!

Also, Happy 21st Birthday to Jessica :), since her birthday happens to fall on the fourth too!

Random dateup.. - May 29, 2007

Well I lost my internet connection for a while via aol dying/no phone bill being paid, so finally I got some money together and got hi-speed installed! It is really a beautiful time of downloading music constantly and watching music videos constantly..

Anyway, nothing really exciting to report..finished up my demo cut of 'Rachel's Song'..the plan is to have Kevin make one too and then we decide on whose to use..but due to the fact he hardly is around to work on it, might have to use mine...

Still no word from Magen on how her take on 'A Day in the Park' is going...eh, no big deal..I still need lots of money to even release this cd, so it'll be another month or two..

Wanting to play a show with Englewood's own Stump..but getting over my solo anxieties and fears...tough one!

anyways, that is about it..nothing exciting..just trying to catch up with everything..although somethings in life have already moved on far ahead..who knows if I can catch back up with them or not : /

Really Calm... - May 6, 2007

Seriously..nothing new to report..things are rather slow and boring right now..I guess it will remain this way for the next few months..maybe less..I'm anxious to hear back from Magens side of the world for the 'A Day In the Park' song...re-recording a new take on 'Rachel's Song' is probably next...anndd...I'm considering putting together an acoustic homemade cd in the downtime waiting for my cd to come out..yes acoustic..acoustic drums that is

The Calm Before the Storm... - May 1, 2007

That's sorta how I feel right now. I finally got the sampler of the new CD up on my Myspace for those who are unaware of it. I am pretty anxious to get these songs out, but due to the fact I want a REAL cd this time (not some cheap looking homemade release), it may be a month or so..

I was wanting to release this CD on 07/07/07, but I don't wanna wait THAT long..might have to though..releasing a professional looking cd costs quite a bit..and well I am by no means rich, so..

In the mean time I can tell you a little about the CD...

It boasts 35 songs. Some very very short, to one incredibly long jam.

Most of the songs are dark and moody. The two songs that feature actual words to them are very dark humoured. This is almost a concept album in a way.

The title, Atramentous Days and Nights means (in going along with the "concept") Black Days and Nights...basically in a nutshell, it is about a lonely person whose days and nights just seem exactly the same..so bad to the point where thus the title comes..even his daytime environments are dark and moody.

Not really sure what else to say about it..I'm pretty tired right now..

New Album Sampler on the Way! - April 26, 2007

I just finished up a quick little sampler of the new album for you people curious what it sounds like. These things are always hard to make, because when you have a cd full of really great stuff, you just don't know what to throw in there. It'll be up on myspace sometime soon hopefully! (Trying to get the artwork cleared up for the cd so I can actually use it on there).

I am even closer to the album title!

So get excited, things are coming together very nicely!

Hooray For Dateups! - April 25, 2007

Available now for your downloading pleasure is the Euphoria Project! I am even running low on them CD’s, so I decided to finally put it up online for everyone who can’t get a copy. Also uploaded today as well, is my first music video from the ‘Like a Falling Piano’ record, ‘Rock This Ditty’. It is really funny, so I recommend you go and check it out! Sorry for it being so out of sync at some points. It was the very first video I have ever edited etc. on my own, so it probably looks pretty amateurish. Kenny the one who helped come up with the song title ironically, helped shoot the video for the most part.

Nothing really much else to report to you all…enjoy the cd if you haven’t heard it yet, and also enjoy the weird music video!

24th of April - April 24, 2007

This date holds quite a bit of significance. First off, it is the offical Armenian Genocide Memourial Day. For those who are not familiar with what an Armenian even is, here is a history lesson for you.

Armenia is a small country right next door to Turkey. Back in World War 1, the Ottoman Empire decided for whatever sick twisted reason they were going to wipe the Armenian race out by force. That day, was the 24th of April, 1915. Millions died. It was a terrible humanity crime that very few actually know about. As far as I know, American History classes in high school don't tell you about this genocide, but when you learn about World War 2, you hear constantly about the Jewish race being killed off. The only main difference between these two horrendous genocides is the Turkish goverment still to this day denies that they were part of this genocide, where-as the Germans did admit to the slaughtering of Jewish people.

I probably don't have any Armenian in my deep bloodline, but I am an avid supporter of awareness of this terrible atrocity. Last year, I walked around my work with giant bold Armenian letters printed on a sheet of paper stuck on my back. I offended one employee because I think the way I described what it meant, she assumed I was appraising the massacre, not drawing awareness.

Anyway, on a lighter note. Porcupine Tree's new album 'Fear of a Blank Planet' comes to your local cd store today (hopefully). From what I heard, this is a really great concept album based on the fear of todays youth and all the mindless violence they see etc.

I am double posting this on my website and Myspace to reach more people both ways.

I hope you take some time out of your busy day and think about the past. We learn about history so we don't repeat the mistakes of the past. So what is stopping us now? Only time will tell...

New CD Details - April 20, 2007

Now now children, don't get all excited by that headline. I am only going to give out a few select details.

Several concepts were thought of for this new CD of mine. One was to be a concept record based on the Plutonian race pissed off, so they send someone here to straighten things out and get them back on the planet charts. It was a decent idea that held up well, but was scrapped.

Another idea, was to make an album based off of my poem that was to be a song, 'Seconds Turn to Hours'. It looked good mentally, but it had no solid foundation, and the unrecorded demo of the song sounds too much like Porcupine Tree's 'Heartattack In a Layby' (it is even sung like that song). Another good idea down the drain.

Anyway, I really am almost clueless on what to even call it. Well now about the part you truly care about. The music! :D

Some of the songs were recorded on my downtime in waiting on 'Like a Falling Piano' to be released in November of 2006. I have made new sessions of the songs and even made quite a few new ones. So far, there are almost 40 new songs just waiting to be put out. Don't let the number fool you, some takes aren't very long. Some even have vocals in them. Yes, my vocals. Also, for the very first time on any of my recordings assuming if all goes well, I will be having the amazing talented acoustic guitar guru, Magen White, play a specially written guitar piece on one of my poems 'A Day In the Park'.

I am really excited about this CD. I will be making more than 150, that is for sure.

Anyway, I'll figure something out and get everything ready to go..we'll say maybe a summer release..possibly fall..winter at the very latest! I refuse to wait until 2008 to release it!!

Sevendust Concert 16-4-2007 Review - April 17, 2007

Monday. A day I usually have off of work, so going to go see a show seemed to work out pretty well.

It was pretty decent temperatures outside. The cold wind made it somewhat bad at times. Parking was hard to find but found eventually after several turns around and around..But anyway, enough about the weather, parking and my stupid job..

My friend and I were there at Newport Music Hall in Columbus pretty early..we were the third and fourth people in line. The wait was pretty long, but well worth it. When we got in, Sevendust didn't have any merchandise for some reason..or maybe I just didn't see it..

Get down to claim our spot against the guardrail, and I meet someone whom I thought was security (though dressed in street clothes?) looking at the crowd gather..I don't remember what started the conversation, but we talked about drums and his kit which he said was on stage..he left to go get ready for his bands set.

His band, was called Invitro. At first I was a bit weirded out..they came out wearing these weird ass tin foil masks..each unique to the band member. The lead singer had a cane with red LED's glowing on the skull shaped end piece..his mask also housed a "eye" looking red LED...well, after blistering through two songs, this alternative/semi-hardcore act threw their masks off into the crowd. This landed sweat in my eye, which really pissed me off..but was soon forgotten when the rocking out began again. I was amazed. I really was..they were brutal and highly energetic..but at the same time somewhat melodic...The bass player played a Rickenbacker bass, so I was pretty happy..I ended up meeting the entire band later that night (except the singer) and talked more with the drummer again..pretty cool guys..and they are opening up for Static-X when I am going to see them on the 9th of May.

The next band, was..:thinks:..Diecast? yes..Diecast..first thing I noticed was how small their drummers drumset was...which there is a reason for that..the drummer was very short...anyways, they put on a decent show..no real standouts except for when they played that old 80's song, 'Danger Zone'..that was..really different lol..

Next up after them was a band called Red..led by an angry bald guy..I really don't have anything to say about them other than their drummer played a very basic setup..they had quite a bit of energy too (the guitar players at least)..then came what everyone was waiting for..

Now for those who have never been to a Sevendust show, but are used to body crushing by the crowd, then you know how I feel right now..

I managed to hold my ground the entire night thankfully..but several people managed to squeeze in beside me..it was pretty ridiculous at times..not a very comfortable experience, but it was all good fun and is just what you expect at a Sevendust show...Getting your ribs crushed and bruised as well as your arm and everything else..

Anyway, now about the show..It was a very amazing experience! So much better than the last time I seen em play in 2002. It was obviously the first time I seen em with Sonny Mayo... He is a very talented guitarist..just his stage prescence is very entertaining alone..

The setlist was a very good mix of old and new songs. I was also pleased with how long they played compared to normal...it was awesome! The best way I can sum it up is one word..it was Beautiful..I mean that with all meaning behind it...

during the entire show the crowds love for the band was very obvious, and it left Lajon speechless sometimes..during the encore he came up and had a pretty intimate chat with us all about how blessed they were to have such great fans like us...see, I have seen them before, and I have seen dvd's of bands that repeat the same thing night to night..but everything he said was as genuine as the boots he was wearing that he said he got from Dimebag Darrell before he was killed..a few words were spoken on that, and then about the shooting at Virginia Tech, and then about his little brother Reginald..first mentioned was about Lynn Strait not being with us anymore....everybody was yelling for the band to play 'Angel's Son'..Lajon actually started to cry..hard to tell because he was soaked with sweat (unfortunately found this out during 'Trust' when he got on the guardrail and walked by and messed my hair up on purpose..I patted him on the back and his shirt was drenched *~*).

But it was just..like I said..a Beautiful moment..you don't have those in rap, pop, or any other genre that I know of..it was just pure epiphany..I can't explain it!

The band rocked on for a few more songs, then as leaving the stage Morgan came right by giving out drumsticks..I tried to reach for one but since I had one already he didnt give me one, he just gave me a low five lol..

And that was that..the meet and greet ticket holders did their thing as we left..but could have probably snuck in..but didnt..instead we hung out in the lobby of the place with Invitro and a very short shorted drunk guitar player from Diecast..ended up buying a $2 Invetro EP for some girl that was had met in the concert hall who got one of the Invetro masks..she was pretty cool..

the ride there was easy, but we had trouble getting home...got home at 3, and was late to work by 45 minutes..not too bad, compared to some of our concert "friends" (people we've met at other shows) whom said they were calling off work all-together..

but yeah, that is my lengthy somewhat rambling review of Sevendust on Monday the 16th of April. I know this doesn't really have much to do with my music, but I thought I'd share..

Rock This Ditty Music Video! - April 11, 2007

Yes, you read correct. Right before winter came back and made us think it assassinated spring, there was a day of very nice weather. Well, during that day, I, and the man who came up with the title of the song, went on a journey through various places of my house video-taping my "band's" first music video.

I will inform you when and where you can see this. The plan of DVD-Singles kinda went down the sewer drain because of my software limitations. But on the brightside, I will try and have it uploaded on YouTube or MySpace soon! It just takes me time because of my super snail 56k modem..

Welcome! - April 10, 2007

Hello, and welcome to my new website! I am really happy to finally say I have a website now other than just a MySpace page. I am not really sure what more to tell you, other than hopefully this will be your new destination for news and updates!
