How does a 'Dare' Valentine?
No. There were no chocolates. Champagne was not poured. Far from the ‘romance’ that is promised with Valentines day, the air smelled of nicotine and metal.The only desire in anyone’s heart was the burning uncertainty of the degree to which our mixes would rock. And BAM! Just like an arrow through the heart shot by a small boy with wings, our eyes opened. The song had...

First post, a day late.

New Look!
As you can see our Tumblr got a face lift. Also a nose job, botox and a tummytuck. Psychological problems notwithstanding, she is doing a lot better and looking really good!  Keep checking back here for more updates and random demos of old and new songs.
