about: all songs here were written by me at least 10 years ago, during my high school years. "blind love" is the first song I ever wrote (that wasn't a parody song, oh yes). I did change a few things, updating the lyrics here and there, removing verses, or completely redoing the music. the supernova suite (goodbye reprised to amplifier) all are only a few lyrics of much longer songs. I recorded this in real time, with many mistakes left in, many notes missed, many lyrics messed up, and a very out-of-tune guitar. Yet I wanted the feel of a live show, playing on momentum, with very little applause. the bonus song is by Vic Thrill, a cover of his song Wailing Wall. thanks vic!

about: frankly (and don't call me frankly), this album is more concept then anything else. I wanted to start each song not knowing where I was going with it. I'm not sure if it's any good, as I don't think I've listened to it more then once since recording it. The one of two people who have listened to it sort of enjoyed it, so enjoy!
