Chicago 2016
In memory of
Derrion Albert


My name is Shane, and it's been lengthened to Shanetron by other people throughout my life, so I've co-opted it.

I give Bad Advice and I sometimes day dream about Things We'd Do With A DeLorean, we being my friend Ben and I.

I live in Chicago, and I have formerly attended SAIC.

I'm 22 right now, but I'll be young forever.

I'm interested in the things that give me the LOLZ, giving others the LOLZ, music, remixing music, Drank Beverage, contemporary art, contemporary fashion, graphic design, being fussy, crucial hangs and bedroom moshing.

If you're reading this and it isn't in Futura, my bad.

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

I’ve been wanting to make beats just for fun in apropos to nothing for a smidgen (I’m sort of wrapping up an album… slowly). After seeing Darron Ball go in on some Sweetheart drums (which are fantastic, by the way), I knew I had to dip my toe in the water.

Have you ever heard a song that’s amazing except for one part, and the song would be perfect, sans that one part?

Well, Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek) just leaked a song featuring Mos Def, Jay Electronica… and J. Cole. Don’t get me wrong, J. Cole can flow, but his subject material is worthless, making J. Cole another rapper not worth his weight in CDs that his label is going to have to buy back, or another rapper whose record will release, just not ship.

I’m serious, subtracting J. Cole adds to this song.

Original (via Nahright) Reflection Eternal - Just Begun - Ft. Mos Def, Jay Electronica… and J. Cole
Revised Edition (via Shanetron) Reflection Eternal - Just Begun - Ft. Mos Def & Jay Electronica

A Barack Obama poster that I designed.Thanks, Cage, for giving me a name to a face.If I have to explain it, don’t bother.Also, it’s a lot larger than this and there is considerably more detail, but I’m tired of giving away things for free.
