about me
here on the wiki most of my work is done in the realm of images, most of which are things that i have scanned and cleaned up in photoshop at very (some can reasonably claim excessively) high-resolution. i also sometimes make desktop wallpapers and fictional covers and such from these images. you can find most of my work (most of which is half of full resolution) in my maj gallery here. please drop me a line for any opinions, suggestions, requests, or comments!
feedback: as stated above, feedback (or just talk) of all types is (almost) always welcome! i am quite frequently on the tmbw irc channel, and my own as well. you can also drop me a line via gtalk or aim (just ask for it).

Some random stuff i've discovered about TMBG:
Birdhouse In Your Soul and Ana Ng, are, as far as i know, the only songs that actually sound like a song when they're played backwards. It's funny, you can tell that it's the Johns right away; They have such a distinctive sound. gN anA is even lyrical.
the lyrics "make a little birdhouse in your soul", backwards equal something that sounds eeirly like "serene slacker bullet licking". here's a sample to hopefully prove that i am not completely insane: Media:Birdhouseendbackwards.mp3
here's an mp3 of the middle of the Which Describes How You're Feeling demo, backwards. just listen. Media:Which-bridge-backwards.mp3
links to my other wiki pages
You can see my "Which Describes How You're Feeling" vid on the fan videos page, or alternatively, here. Sorry for bad quality, I'll try and upload again, better. Unfortunately, I never really had time to finish it completely, but there it is.
it twas a fabulous show. pity they messed up the recording.
