Fuck you, cocaine don't come cheap in this country

About Me


Headphone Harmonics Online
Jake's Deviant Art Page

I'm Jake Tha Snake, the Eastern Australian/Islander. I was born in Brisbane, but I moved to Sydney (Penrith) at the age of... um, 1. I spent my early years growing up as a Westie in the burbs and my parents hated it. When I was 9 we moved to Hobart, Tasmania where I lived until I was 18. Then, I somehow ended up in Canberra. Now, I've lived in Penrith and Hobart so I know a lot about shitholes - and Canberra is the biggest shithole in this country. 18 months later I fucked off to Melbourne.

My Interests

Burnt out decrepid old buildings, shelltoes, old-school bikes with all four pegs, Sector 9 longboards (especially the Cloud 9), Mac computers, vinyl, manga, aerial photography, DV camcorders and society in play.

I'd like to meet:

Hideo Kojima, so I can convince him to make me the next person to play 'Solid Snake' in the Metal Gear series (sorry David Hayter). I'd also like to have meet Tezuka, the creator of Astro Boy, and pretty much every musician listed in my music column (although I'm sure it'd be full of disappointments - as most musicians I know are total arseholes).

Music:

Beastie Boys, Run-DMC, De La Soul, DJ Shadow, Blackalicious, Metallica, Rage Against The Machine (Zack De La Rocha), Jurassic 5, Ben Harper, Nine Inch Nails (Trent Reznor), The Mars Volta, Marilyn Manson, Leftfield, Katalyst, The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Lyrical Commission (Brad Strut), Downsyde, The Herd, KRS-One, The Pixies, The Darkness, Gang Starr, Muse, Art Of War, The Avalanches, Aerosmith, Van Morrison, Michael Jackson, Massive Attack, Propellerheads, Public Enemy (Chuck D), Def Wish Cast, Gogol Bordello, Deep Forest, Juno Reactor, MC Solaar, Saul Williams, Rammstein, The Roots (?uestlove), Roots Manuva, Kraftwerk, Butterfingers plus many, many more...

New Flick Uploaded ~ Couch Carnage!

Well, it took less than twenty minutes to film and about an hour to edit, so it's hardly the masterpiece anyone (perhaps no-one?) was waiting for - but it is somewhat funny. If you love chopping shit ...

Run-DMC Videos (That Aren't On The DVD)

Yeah! Another Helicopter Day

Sometimes when you wake up and look out the window in the morning you wonder if it's even worth getting out of bed. Well, recently making that decision has been a heck of a lot easier because I knew t...

Nine Inch Nails - Year Zero

Well, I've been getting into the new Nine Inch Nails album, 'Year Zero'. It's pretty good. You can really divide the NIN catalogue in half now; 'Pretty Hate Machine' up to 'The Downward Spiral' (old s...
