WMD

WMD would like to spend his life soaring high above the earth like an eagle, but cannot and so listens to music, terrestrially like others, that sounds like the sounds of flight. It is for this reason that WMD is often found listening to sirens of all kinds for hours, rapt, riveted. WMD also likes other kinds of music and is likely to suffer from tinnitus before reaching middle age and go deaf by fifty because of WMD’s hard-line stance on listening to music at high-volume, which also makes WMD hated by those who live near WMD, who wouldn’t know good music if it kidnapped and tortured them for a month and who suck…hard.

Aron Fischer

Aron taught himself to write, driven by the magical, transcendental freedom of music and a fascination with the album as an art form. Today he's formally fine-tuning his geek-out-snobbery skills with a music journalism degree at SFSU and blogging, like every other douche with a cpu. Raised on Nu-Metal and Pop Punk and expanded by Radiohead and Sonic Youth, he now maintains an up to date, hipster-approved library of open-minded music, spanning from sound clips of mating howler monkeys to your mom's favorite AM radio station hits. (But mainly the stuff in between: indie/alternative/post pop/rock, dance/electronica, hip hop/rap, soul/funk, punk, metal, folk, psychedelic, etc.) Top 5 "Stranded on a desert island" albums are Pet Sounds, Low, Daydream Nation, Loveless and Kid A.
