When you caught my eye, I saw everywhere I've been...and want to go -The Editors

About Me

I'm a serious music junkie, former Borders/retail slave, now 'real job' slave, dedicated friend, protective brother, decent son, hate the cell, love the PC, recovering shopoholic, responsible drinker, former smoker, former metal head (mullet, Ozzy, Priest), then Prince fan (hair off to one side, lots of purple), then goth (alot of black clothes and darkwave music); now very dull on the outside, still metal/goth/r&b on the inside. Like a pop culture walnut. Crack me.

My Interests

Flat out, I'm a music collector. I'd love to say i'm in to Kareoke, Macrame, Tai Chi, and the films of Ingmar Bergman. But that would be a lie. I'm a straight up music whore. Love it all. The more obscure, the better. But i have a soft spot for out and out POP too!
