Hi, I'm a big fan of all things W.S. Burroughs-related and thus support almost anything Burroughsianesqueish. So I say maybe it's time for me to get behind the things I care about. I guess I'm adult enough for that, eh.
Check out the kickstarter page for the restoration of 1983 cult classic William Burroughs documentary and donate if you've got money like that: http://kck.st/QMTJqj

Xtianity
Say what you will about christianity, the continuing degradation of society's moral compass is due the continuing degradation of the faith.
Do I sound like a doofus already? Well keep reading.
I'm not talking about heaven or hell here. I'm not saying we all need to be saved. I'm not even really a christian myself when all is said and done. What I'm talking about is what those bible stories instilled in me when I was a child. Morals. A sense of right and wrong. Did they possibly "brainwash" me in other areas? Yes. But there is no perfect system.
When I talk about morality, I'm not talking about not letting the gays get married. Or any other crap that the christians seem to focus on too much that doesn't really matter. I'm talking about trust. Everyone is so constantly paranoid because they're afraid someone is going to screw them over in some way. This is because we all continue to lack morals.
All in all, there needs to be a form of the faith that focuses more on what's right and wrong updated for today's age. I want the gays to be married, among many other doctrines that are just so out of date. What we need is to be able to trust each other again. And it starts back when we're children and most impressionable. I don't want to be told what to do and not to do just because... that's it. If anything, that's why we all need a little faith.

New ambient comp, "Val," coming soon...
So http://kikapu.org/ is releasing my new ambient comp album sometime this lovely month of February. It's simply called "Val" and it will be a single 49 minute track composed of some of my personal favorites through the years. Stay tuned.
On another note, I will be doing a top 10 albums of 2011 list sometime. I've listened to a handful of other albums and it's slightly changed... pics and little comments coming soon.
