Cool Devices Album

The difference between zero and one is very subtle, one is zero and
zero is one, there isn’t any difference. But in the end, it’s all we’ve
got. When I asked to join the pirate ship called Cool Devices, my heart
was in the gutter, my mind was clouded with chemicals and false
expectations, my confusion was at an all-time high and my love for life
was at its lowest.

Enter Jason Frederick.

Poet, painter, newlywed, freak, lover of life, speaker of mind,
whistle blower, thirty-something angry teenager, ball-buster supreme.

Here’s a secret few people know…

Jason is truly a protector of all things living. I have seen the man
go out of his way to assist a fruit fly through the billowing curtains

exponentially. I was that fruit fly.

[regular voice]

What most people know is that Jason rages openly at all living things.

His claim to fame is his ability to scream into the microphones of
small midwestern clubs. I’m not sure if you have had the luxury of
staring down the dented globe of an SM-58 at an angry mob, but it was
here that I learned “FUCK YOU!!” can sometimes mean “I love you” and
