About Me

I host a music- & cultural arts-oriented radio show, "The Freak Power Ticket," on KCSB 91.9 FM in Santa Barbara, California (webcast at www.kcsb.org ). It's been on on Mondays, for a while, from 9-10am, but will be on hiatus for the next 3 months. I also blog at freakpowertix.buzznet.com & thefreakpowerticket.blogspot.com . You can find out more about me thereabouts... (the video i shot below, btw, is the world/inferno friendship society live in long beach, performing "only anarchists are pretty.")
