Q: Why does my mind reel so?
A: Because we don't insult you with trite, bonehead, dumb-downed nursery rhymes. We aspire to transmit unfiltered. Those unexpected thoughts are so rare that it produces Frisson in your body - and that's an unfamiliar feeling - that new drug huey lewis was prattling on about in the 80's. Also we study music, we play instruments, we receive, we compose (not sample), we read. Say what?
