Innocent Bystander

the insular insomniac

About Me

30 year old disgruntled accountant by day, brooding musician by night. the duplicity probably has something to do with being on the gen xy cusp. or maybe all that ditto paper i huffed while in elementary. that probably explains the lack of focus and poor short-term memory as well. what was i supposed to be writing about again...

My Interests

music(playing, listening and recording) art, muscle cars and a bunch of other stuff that i can't think of right now

I'd like to meet:

chris matthews- just to kick him in the balls

Music:

radiohead, pearl jam, sigur ros, peter gabriel, sparklehorse, biggie, cat power, pj harvey, the beatles, love, van morrison, nick drake, elliott smith, jay-z, cam'ron, nas, ghostface killah, joy division, prince, the smiths, the cure, outkast and basically anything with equal doses of humor and pathos. gotta put dirty on purpose, a place to bury strangers and indigo son on this list also. chances are you haven't heard of them, but you will...

Movies:

stand by me, about a boy, iris, lost in translation, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, no place for old men, say anything, groundhog day, thin red line, the godfather, serpico, deerhunter, king of new york, tombstone and too many others to list...
