I like your electronic picks. I found you because you were the only one that had Theodor Bastard on your chart, but you're not the only one anymore.
I know it's in your name, but maybe consider adding some light to the darkness. If you think it makes you look smarter, then stop immediately. If it's just your taste... tastes can change.
