Free Downloads: A kLoKwErK kAoS vs. FX4
New blog post: I was introduced to the works of A kLoKwErK kAoS (AKK for short) through my friend Jessica.

The Fray – “Scars & Stories”
New blog post: Piano-driven ballads aren’t my thing. Neither was soft rock. So you put the two together, and you think it’d be a recipe for disaster for me. Not when it comes to The Fray.
