Snakes

I'd like to meet:

David Bowie, Craig Wedren, Curt Smith, Roland Orzabal, Yuri, That woman from Two~Mix, Dave Attell (GIVE HIM HIS FUCKING SHOW BACK), Dana Carvey, Donald Fagen, Walter Becker, someone named Aja, someone named Josie who prays like a roman with her eyes on fire, someone named Dr. Wu, O&A, Megumi from YA (I can dream can't I?), Tadanobu Asano, Takashi Miike, Dane Cook, Bruce Campbell, Scarlet Johansson, and Mitch Hedberg; but I suppose I can only meet him when I travel to the top two coreners of the map (RIP)

But I don't just want to meet famous people or cult icons, I want to meet pretty much anyone. Maybe even you.

Music:

So yeah I'm gonna update this too. I think that if I listed all the artists it would be a pretty short list because I listen to music differently that most people. When I usually first get into a band, I'll buy the album that made them famous, that's a given, then I'll move on from there to other, lesser known albums. Because of this I know alot about the artists that I know, but just don't know many of them. When talking about me and Music, three names may come to mind; Shudder to Think, Steely Dan and David Bowie. These are the three bands that I can never choose from. Besides that there's the Moody Blues, Boston, The Beatles, and Rush. Getting a little bit closer to my metal roots there's Iron Maiden of course, Symphony X, Dream Theater, Van Halen, Andrew W.K. and the ever so conceited Yngwie J. Malmsteen. Then there's the part of my musical tastes which is related to the 80s, Tears for Fears, The Fixx, Prince, B-52s, The Outfield, Michael Jackson, Hall & Oates, and Lionel Richie. I can listen to pretty much any Jazz, which is a blatant lie. I like alot of Jazz, I just don't really know artists themselves who I'd associate to the Jazz I like. I like Mr. Bungle, great guys. I could never get into Led Zepplin or The Stones. Oh well. I don't like Bruce Springsteen, maybe like can't start a fire and stuff, but that's really it. But then there's the whole other side of my musical taste, electronica and Japan. Yes, they go hand in hand. From what I've heard/accquired through my brothers itunes I'd say Kraftwerk and Stereolab kick some major ass. (I love Miss Modular for some reason). I know that one day I'll own a collection of Stereolab and Kraftwerk and not have to turn on the Mac for it. I still love old to semi old Video Game Music, it's just so epic and well written, you can't not like it. But that taps into a whole differen't thing. I love Two~Mix, and I like Move and T.M. Revolution. I love YMO and Ryuichi Sakamoto too. However, at this exact moment I'm enjoying Pizzicato 5 the most. I love how Japanese Music is sometimes so so sooo lighthearted, even if the song isn't really about something all that great. It took me a while to get into Pizzicato 5 too, but somehow something just clicked with me.For some odd reasons I love the songs Atlantic by Hotels, Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto, and Resident Wine by Shudder to Think with undying passion. I hope to make something better than all three.
