| Introduction | .. I've realized recently that the best way to describe my overall outlook is that, "I'm not really compatible with the way the world works." im the anti-bill o'reilly. I make/live for/love music and art....... Things i like: noisey/sludgey/grimey music driving places i've never been drum machines conversations about non-mundane topics distortion on ANYTHING big fuzzy guitars beautiful ambient melodies REAL HIP HOP LEARNING anything influenced by Black Sabbath The 90s ruled. I don't like: Intolerant fanatics. People who don't want more out of life. Closed mindedness Having to be at work when i'd like to be making music Cops. Redneck mentalities Tough guy personas. Hunting Lazy parents. I'm a producer/engineer/programmer/guitarist/bassist/vocalist/etc... So get at me, we'll do something. I am always interested in collaborating with anyone who is on the same page musically. |

Yes. It is evidenced by the similarities in their skeletal systems.
