Hey Musician, what's up?
Updated Nov 06, 2003

It's official: I suck.

I resolved back around new years to write more frequently, and then I went on an 8 month hiatus. Yah, well, things piled up outside of the epinions world. I had to work a bunch this summer (I know, lame excuse) and when I came back to classses, I was absolutely bombarded with schoolwork, so much that I couldn't get ANY of my extracurricular writing done, which includes essays, poetry, and what's shaping up to be a novel. Then I got mono, which knocked me out of school for a month and almost cost me my semester. I dropped the class though that was making up the bulk of the work (The Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant is the most unnecessarily difficult book ever), and I find myself with a little more spare time to write creatively and on my own conditions.

The Nov. 2 reviews I published here were originally published in my school newspaper, The Athenaeum, which pathetically has no up and running website yet. However, more ORIGINAL reviews WILL come... lest I forever remain in the Epinions' dog house for sucking. And that Bob Dylan reviewathon WILL continue ever so slowly... I just started writing the next one and it'll be around one day.... I'll probably put out a "top 10 of 2004" albums list sometime soon, probably after u2's new album comes out to give 'em a chance.

I'm currently attending Acadia University, which is in the bustling metropolis of Wolfville, Nova Scotia for studies in English and Philosophy. As part of my new years resolutions, I resolve to ignore my Epinions account less, and actually write some current reviews for you fans out there (all two or three of you ;-) . I hope you enjoy.
Well, then. Now for something completely different.

Who are you?
I'm the Musician. As you can tell from the name, I'm big on music. I listen to a lot (A CD collection of 200+), I play a lot (I play piano/keyboards, drums, bass guitar, and tuba, but mostly my acoustic Yamaha and my electric Gibson SG), and I love discussing it (my favourite artists are Radiohead, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, the Who, Nine Inch Nails, and others...).
Where are you, and what do you do there? I live in Canada in the suburbs of Toronto. However, eight months a year I'm attending Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. There I study Philosophy and English, I like The Simpsons, sports such as basketball, football, rugby, and racquetball, and I enjoy reading and writing.
How are you? I'm doing alright. The Radiohead show ROCKED. To read my review, click here.
I also just made a website, so check that out. It looks shoddy now, but one day it will.....who am I fooling? It'll always look shoddy. Ahhwell.....
P.S. George Clinton has returned! It's true what they say. If you do fake the funk, your nose will grow. Just ask Bootsy

ALBUMS CURRENTLY IN MY ROTATION

The Queen Is Dead - The Smiths
Purple Rain - Prince
Emancipation - Prince
Down on the Upside - Soundgarden
Born to Run - Bruce Springsteen
Moving Pictures - Rush
Crime of the Century - Supertramp
Live At Leeds - The Who


This purdy-lookin' long bio wouldn't be possible without the help of the expert epinionator Christoff .

Peace!!!
