Howdy. I'm Justin Boland.

I work for World-Around Records. We're a startup company and I'm working 16 hour days to keep up. It's hard work because there's no road map, but I love what I do. Audible Hype is a platform for me to share everything I'm learning. I believe that open source works better than selfish prick, and I believe that empowering other independent musicians will do more to improve our culture than me keeping this information to myself.

I'm also a rapper, which is obviously why I started a record label. My original group, Wombaticus Rex, is ending this summer and my new outlets are Algorhythms (with Dr. Quandary) and my sex party rap project, Humpasaur Jones.

On good days, I am interested in everything in the Universe. I've written for a lot of websites and I still do. I work for Back Brain Media, and I run Brainsturbator, Skilluminati Research and of course Hump Jones, our sex education program.

• One Billion Earth Homeless as of 2007—HEAVY.

  Apparently the facts check out and the situation will be getting worse in the future. What if they threw an economy and nobody came? What if we started redirecting usable waste to these shantytowns instead of the f'ing dump? Just a thought.
