About Me

I'm a DJ... have been most of my life. That's what I am... that's what you get. I am co-founder and HMFC of NewDetroitRadio.com , a website based out of the Detroit area that brings better music 24/7 to you... the undernourished listener. I say undernourished because you need better music... you aren't getting a healthy dose of it... you are being fed the 'fast food' of music every day from terrestrial radio. Do yourself a huge favor... turn it off. You'll find that you really don't 'love' those crappy 3 minute jingles that pass for music. You'll find that music with substance, soul, and a driving rhythym can sustain you... even cause you to feel more alive.
Interestingly enough, a LOT of Rap and Hip Hop folk send me friend requests. Don't bother. Seriously, you're wasting your time and mine. It makes it painfully obvious you don't have a clue as to what I'm about.

My Interests

Finding just the right song... finding people who can hold my attention for more then 3 minutes... people who can think beyond what they see with their own two eyes

I'd like to meet:

Someone who could actually tolerate me. Possibly a modestly hot girl... "to help me through the hard times, you know, the kind that are only sort of hot so they don't mess around with other guys."

Music:

Crunk free and better for it... 99% of all music on the radio is complete shite... that's why I have my own internet radio station... so people can dance, instead of just being drunk and stupid
To be more specific... House, Techno, Trance, Breabeat, Drum-n-Bass, Electronica, and all the other excellent forms of electronic dance music.

I must acknowledge the other music I love..

80's retro like - the Cure, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Cult, Psychadelic Furs, Violent Femmes, The The, Peter Murphy, Style Council, Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, Kate Bush, Thomas Dolby, REM, old U2... and dozens of others.

Rock like - Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd, Asia, VAST, Led Zeppelin, Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden, Triumph, Boston, Smashing Pumpkins, Velvet Revolver, Dire Straits, ELP, Genesis, Jane's Addiction, the Police, Tool, Perfect Circle, Steely Dan, CSNY, The Allman Brothers, The Who, Van Halen, and I loves me some hair bands!

Randomly - Tori Amos, Melissa Ethridge, Pat Metheny, Michael Hedges, Ministry, Nitzer Ebb, Johnny Cash, Paula Cole, Seal, Tragically Hip, Vangelis, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Pearl Jam, Kiss,

Legends: Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, Prince

Movies:

The Secret Government

20 minutes of your life that you NEED to spend watching this - Bill Moyers, the respected TV journalist, analyzes the threats to constitutional government posed by an illegitimate network of "superpatriots", spies, profiteers, mercenaries and ex-generals. His documentary gives a fascinating overview of what has actually happened in the last 50 years regarding the CIA and the Cold War (including Iran, Guatamala, Cuba, Vietnam and Chile). He features such people as Ralph McGeehee and Phil Retinger (both former CIA agents), Rear Admiral Gene La Rocque (Ret. U.S.N.), Theodore Bissell (active in the CIA at the time), Sen. Frank Church and many others. I do love movies more than I should... Sci-fi and fantasy like Star Wars, I Robot, A.I., LOTR (yes, I read the books), The Crow, Legend, Matrix, Ghost in the Shell
Directors like Stanley Kubrick and... well, wait a minute... there are no directors like him
Silly ass comedy: Super Troopers rocks!, Fletch, Caddyshack, John Hughes movies Dramas: Boondock Saints, Glengary Glenross, Shawshank Redemption, LA Confidential, Requiem for a Dream (drama.. more like depresso-drama... but i loved it)

Television:

Family Guy, Bill Maher, West Wing (damn you Harley) and on demand movies.

Books:

The Tao te Ching - Lao Tzu (Stephen Mitchell translation); It's older than any christian thought... and makes a lot more sense.

Heroes:

Bugs Bunny. you figure it out

Going to war for oil... nahhh... we'd NEVER do that!

Why are we at war? Why, indeed... when we have been meddling in the affairs of other countries for so long, we can't even leave a democracy alone. We didn't have to "bring democarcy" to the middle eas...

20 years old and still dead on

This 20 year old television special could play today, replace a few names and places, and it would still be as relevant as it was then. Think about it as you watch the government work. This will take ...
