I was listening to a couple of mp3’s by Tiny Master’s of Today. Once their songs ended, iTunes pulled up the next song in the list, which happened to be a demo version of “You’ve got to believe in the world as it once was.” that I recorded prior to entering the studio to record… Continue reading Recently Unearthed MP3

The Ditty Bops
I’m really digging this band, The Ditty Bops. I’ve only heard 6 of their songs, which are posted on myspace in either audio or video format, and they are all super awesome.

This operation that is Cryns #3 is merely a part of the greater music scene in town. I’m not trying to be famous. I am merely hoping to help build an environment that we… Continue reading 1/4 of the way there!!!

My brother, Noah, who is much more hip than me, plays drums and bass in the band. Together, Noah and… Continue reading What it's like to be Cryns #3
