Artist description alan lives in the cracked out neighborhood of the tenderloin in san francisco where he records his pop songs in his ground-floor-facing-the-steet ghetto pad. his songs are sweet, sad and catchy, and are occasionally peppered with noises of passing buses, tranny crack whore fights, and lighting cigarettes. playing all the instruments himself, alan writes songs that satiate his obsessions with casio sampling keyboards, gay boy relationships and misnomered love.
