andrew's blog

hi everyone its me, andrew. you know, the one all the movie stars always talk about. aka "america's bad boy." you've probably seen me in all the newspapers and wondered "i wonder why he does all those craaaaaazy things he does." well now you get to find out.

jk. im andrew. i go to uconn majoring in music. im a bassist (though i play a lot of other stuff) and work as a solo musician. well thats what im trying to do anyway. i work at a music store to pay for college. after college i hope to move to new york and enjoy it before its destroyed by global warming.

anyway myspace.com/mandarkisawesome check it out if you like ridiculously fast solo bass improvisations.

i just recently released my first album, mainly of solo bass improvs, called "one for the ladies."

im currently working on my next album, tentatively titled "threat level: midnight," which is a lot more song-based than the last album, with inspiration coming a lot more from The Mars Volta (my favorite band ever), My Bloody Valentine, and Kyuss than Yngwie Malmsteem and Paul Gilbert. but theres still crazy shred on the next album so dont worry.

uh if you really like the music on the myspace i guess contact me and i can set you up with some download links (from megaupload or something), but id of course ask you to spread the word about me or something in return.

and i compose classical music. im writing a symphony now which should be done in a few months. not a lot of people believe me since very few 18-year-olds write symphonies, but i seriously am and its actually coming out very well so far.

and lastly im a genius. i took the mensa test when i was 15 and my iq's 152. if your young and extremely intelligent i strongly recommend you take an iq test to prove it since being in mensa won me every argument i ever had with my parents or teachers. and the special interest groups are great.
