No Filter

“Someone told me I have No Filter.  So I thought I could build a radio show around that statement. The term ‘no filter’ is a pretty common one used today to describe a person who speaks without tact, seems to blurt out their thoughts or is generally seen as very blunt. The phrase comes from the idea that your mouth says what your brain thinks without consideration to the audience, situation or time and thats how the music comes the only difference is my musical choices are made with great consideration for my idea of good music.”
