Bill Callahan, born in Silver Spring, Maryland. Callahan pioneered the lo-figenre of underground rock, with homemade tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he signed a record contract with the label drag city. Callahan started out as a highly experimentalartist, utilizing sub-standard instruments and recording equipment. His reason for using the lo-fi approach was not so much an aesthetic choice, rather it came from his lack of knowledge of recording studios, and fear of giving up control to professional engineers.

I feel like an astronaut
Suffocating on the moon
So far from home
Encased in this plastic dome
I can barely see the earth from here
I cut my tether willingly
'Til i realise it's killing me
But something always saves my life
Wish i knew it's name
I should never be an explorer
Makes me sick
