its that 'lowest common denominator' thang - like mcdonalds food.
i for one hope we stay below the radar... even in the heyday of the music we here like ( like the sixties) the airwaves were dominated by commercial music - think hermans hermits, the monkees, paul revere and the raiders.... less

steve schmitt → Lester Crow: commercial music will always (with rare exceptions) run to crap as it is produced to make money and appeal to the mass audience - an attempt to be popular rather than good.....
remember that fully 50% of the world is below fucking normal...

give 'em a listen, i know you will like it.....steve-o less

Lindsey: that's awesome that you saw him in concert, was it as good as i'm assuming it was??
i actually didn't recall the line but i just looked it up and "it's screamin' jay hawkins and he's a wild man, so bug off!".

Lindsey: wow, henry?? that's a pretty normal name for a pretty abnormal sidekick. i would have loved to see him in concert but i was just a young, naive preteen when he died.

as for my totally awesome and artistic profile picture, i'd like to tell you that it's the result of sheer creative genius but that would be misleading. it was taken with my mac by hitting a setting then pressing "take photo". you've never seen these before?
