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.

Review of Cory Doctorow’s “Little Brother”
I'm very interested in this book...it's available free but I'm never reading another book in PDF format, too hard on the eyes and the soul. Tactical resistance to the police state, related in operational detail, formatted as an adventure novel for teenagers of all ages...this could be pretty big.

All drums are Ryan Hare, all guitar is me, all programming by DJ Multiple Sex Partners. Enjoy -- very heavy new material on the way. Album in 08? I think yes.

The Language of Power II
The fullest explanation of the Skilluminati Research project to date -- definitely curious for feedback. It's an article that uses the "I" word quite a bit, which is a major breach of Protocol for SR in 2008.

Hektor: or, Holy Shit, This Is Way Too Cool
A portable, laptop-based spray-paint "output device" -- in other words, load up .gif and .jpg files, and turn your images into grafitti. Yeah, really. This is insanely cool stuff.
