I record bands for cheap. Check it out.

Feel free to visit my alter ego, my empire, my kingdom, my playground, or my slap in the face of popular music.

Through the studio I work with a lot of young bands. I'm noticing many kids coming into the underground scene have no idea about some of these older and absolutely semiole bands that had a huge influence on me. Of course I feel that is a shame although I'm sure most of them couldn't care less. But hey, if you like WHN? you'll have to accept the fact that WHN? wouldn't be what it is if I hadn't spent the better part of my youth listening to The Cure and Weird Al.
So I've decided to come up with my own Suggested Listening List. I threw on a few greatest hits compilations for convenience' sake because if you don't already know about a band then getting a hits collection is a good way to start. Even though Bruce McCoullough says, "Greatest hits are for little girls and housewives."
