My So-Called Life is an album by breakcore artist Venetian Snares. It is a collection of tracks each made in a matter of days, which Funk considers more of "a collection of short stories than a novel... diary entries." It was the first release on Funk's new personal record label, Timesig, and was distributed through Planet Mu. The cover artwork is entitled "Második Galamb" and was painted by Christopher Umana.^[1]
