This has been one Hell of a year. People who don’t know me called me a bastard. People who do  know me said that I was being too kind to the people who don’t. And some dimwit named Mitsy even said that I was talentless, all because of some remix I did as a joke, and in spite of the fact that I’ve been producing melodic experimental music for more than a decade. The truth is: I am  too kind. Occasionally, giving you people all the free music you can stomach feels like a full time job, but I’ll manage. Oh, people have complained about everything this year. From the fact that the followed links on this page don’t change color, to the fact that I like to make fun of people, to the fact that I’m not self-effacing enough. Well, let me clear this up, once and for all. I make more fun of myself than any of you ever could. I’m exceptionally friendly, as anyone who knows me will tell you. And believe it or not, I am ridiculously humble, unlike many of my detractors. Now, if you want to bitch about the quality of my work, super. It must be exhilarating posting to web forums all your life. Yawn. 152 Tracks to Take Along With You on Your Bloodsoaked—Ah, Fuck It, Just Have a Great New Year, Everybody!
