One day when I was a wee lad of 14, I was joking around with my friends about modern music (specifically trance and house) and I made a comment about how they all have random, idiotic names, and coined the name 'MC Lampshade' which had my friends in stitches.
Then one day in school, I was screwing around and invented an alias called 'The Agent', which served as a sort of Urban Legend in my school. The story went that the more you knew about The Agent, the more he knew about you, and would begin following you. It never caught on, but I liked the story.
Then when the fateful day came where I made myself an online identity, I deliberated long and hard about what I?d choose, what name would suit both me, and the internet. I remembered those stories and thus, 'AgentLampshade' was born.
