Welcome to Vanity Press. If you don't know why you are here, you should leave. If you are still here and don't know why, I will try to explain using some facts.

• My name in Benjamin Keeston Hales (it's not my real name of course, just an implausible pseudonym I have invented at random)
• I was born in 1974 in the United Kingdom, which is where I live while I'm writing this
• I make "music" for a "living"
• I have been in a varity of bands and released a hoard of barely-noticed records.
• There are a lot of them in my house, so I thought I would try to get rid of them
• Not content with depleting the piles of records in my house, I have decided to make some more
• I like lists
• Over the years of being in bands I wrote a huge amount of words about it. These words are now completely irrelevant, and so I have put them here on the internet, as is right and proper.
• Every creative person should have an outlet. You can use mine if you like, but you'll understand if I exercise my editorial perogative.
