Music is a big part of any teenager's life, and this is reflected in the
nature of many music files: Transcribed Lyrics, guitar fingering texts,
and postulations about how much this band sucks or this band rules. There's
also heavy technical descriptions of MIDI and certain types of music
equipment, along with transcriptions of interviews taken from a wide
variety of sources.
Buried down here are also some weird parodies of then-contemporary songs,
twisted into a computer-centric angle. In fact, I wrote a few of these
myself, under the name "The Slipped Disk". A great way to tell what bands
I though were "cool".
