	<description>SonicMonkey is the online musical playground of Michael Hacker, an Arizona-based guitarist, songwriter, recording geek, and techie.  Michael is the owner of SonicMonkey Studios (a.k.a. the spare bedroom in his house) and likes Pro Tools, Line 6, and other stuff that he wishes would give him a sponsorship.  Michael occasionally talks about stuff.  Sometimes, he posts musical sketches (read: filler).  Even more rarely, he finishes a song.</description>

<p>FAWM stands for February Album Writing Month.  Each February, hundreds of people all over the world are spending the entire month writing, recording, and releasing music.  The goal is to complete 14 songs by the end of the month.  Given that February has only 28 days, that&#8217;s a new song every other day!  But the real goal was probably stated best by Jack London:  &#8220;You can&#8217;t wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club!&#8221;</p>
