Breton Campbell
Breton's done nothing with his life so far, apart from amassing an impressive collection of Animorphs books. However, his life-long obsession with music, combined with a cursory knowledge of music theory, inspired him to begin writing music reviews that hopefully aren't too boring or whatever. He assures you that you're liking things wrong, and that you should like things the way he likes things instead.

Death Grips: Niggas on the Moon
