Man, go with whats kinda metal.
I’m not a metal guy but most of my friends are. When I added the String Quartet Tribute To Tool to my mix my friends noticed.
When I went to a Dan Bern concert last year one of my metal friends said “Is that the Tiger Woods guy?”
Fuck labels. He was right, the weird 90s folk singer I added to our mixes did that song.
I was playing on a MUD (early mmorpg thing by telnet) in 1994 and the creator wanted some of the core players to make characters as part of the plot. The game never went anywhere after that (it was called Kaspelheim) but the character I made was Pronell Mordini, perrin (otterlike humanoids) trademaster.
I just kept using the name online since then. It’s never taken. But someone else did get pronell@gmail.com.
