Xenophanes was a ancient Greek who spoke up against the Gods. Presocratic philosophy rules.

I like the song he posted. This guy's becoming like Bob Pollard, only on a lot more drugs.

I'd be way more stoked if he put out one really good release in a year.

Ok, so some of his records have been a bit too 'far out' for my liking, his records are still far more interesting than the majority of stuff that throws itself into the experimental genre.
