Quiet Robert

More than zero...less than fascism.

About Me

Grew up in the western burbs of Cleveland...well, mostly.
Picked up a bass around 14 or so and haven't put it down yet.
Currently playing for the melodic hardcore band Heads Held High and for the horror-rock band The Punk Rods.

My Interests

Music, urban exploration , mythology, comics, old toys, reading, local history, ancient history (especially Egyptian), drinking coffee and tea, laughing at racists and religious zealots.

I'd like to meet:

All of my friends...up at Denny's. They will then buy me pancakes.

Music:



Metal, punk, hardcore, horror rock, hair metal, metalcore, 80's pop and progressive, "classic" and "arena" rock, old-school rap (not the lame-ass "gangsta" shit), some industrial, techno and death metal and a smattering of contemporary jazz. I have zero tolerance for country.

Movies:

Anything /everything by Kevin Smith or John Hughes, Pump Up The Volume, SLC Punk, American History X, High Fidelity, Death To Smoochy, Super Troopers, Almost Famous, Grosse Pointe Blank, That Thing You Do, Airheads, Excalibur, This Is Spinal Tap, The Crow, Shaun of the Dead, (good) horror movies and practically any film released in the '80s.

Television:

Sitting down on a couch, you watch
a fucking slave to a TV show
You thought before but you sat and dropped
What did you learn? You don't even know
Now I kid myself but my eyes are glued on this thing
It steals my time and wastes what I've learned
I'm holding out for a better deal, for something real
You know I'd like to say that I could spend a day at home with it left off
How strong's our will?
Stand still

"Stand Still" by Gorilla Biscuits

Books:


The Bible.
