"Small Finger" by Enik

Published on April 29, 2007

Maybe you’ll like this as much as I do.
Acoustic sounds, dreamy effects, and sincere, heart-wrenching vocal style, melodic songwriting… this is Enik from Munich. He’s more intense and electronic in other songs.

I first discovered him through the writing of Cry Bloxsome, probably the only modern writer I think about when I think about modern writers. Cry, from […]

Published on April 6, 2007

Have you read this news article, about a man who had the wrong testicle removed.
Trust your colleagues to alert you of these important, work-related bits.
I feel sad for the guy. Imagine having your nice healthy left testicle removed, leaving you with a potentially cancerous one (ironically, the “right” one).
