Polar Bears In The Jungle

Back in 2007 I formed The Throbbing Testicles with my friend Mike. It was originally just a joke, poking fun at some of our favorite bands and the current status of the music world and how we couldn't believe that some people were getting paid to put out what they call "music". Our way of thinking was if they can do it why can't we? Well it was a two man show for a bit before it evolved over time and adding more people with real talent became a real band that has grown and thrived over the last near four years now.

Over time I've managed to divide my writing into two different places. One specifically for T3 and the other for my own whatever. During this time I've been teaching myself to play guitar and a few other instruments and when I get the chance I let those other songs breathe a little. Only recently did I decide to really do something with it. While writing for T3 is coming along nicely, sometimes I write things that don't really fit well with the theme of it all or perhaps are just a placeholder to get through certain things in my own life through music, who knows. But the point is that I'm planning on recording the songs on my own with help on occasion when I need it. Its not for anything important, just something fun that I'm really enjoying doing. You can find the songs as I upload them on the myspace here. There are some super old cruddy recordings on there that I'm trying to replace, but there are two new ones as well.

Lucky for me I've got some brand new toys to play with to help me along in the process:
