Band Members: Just Me , The video directly below is a foreign language clip of the XF-103 Thunderwarrior plane I did a song about on this profile...this was, regretfully, only a full scale mock up, but at least we can see what it would of looked like.. The above clip is amazing, for one thing, I would love to be there, where ever that is, because the visability is stunning.....as the video pans from right to left you can see a bright cluster of stars , that would be M-45 "The Pleades". Then the Constellation Taurus with it's red giant Aldebaran, comes into vie. , As the video continues moving to left Orion comes into view, the lower right bright star being Rigel, you can even see the Orion Nebula underneath the close 3 stars making up Orions belt and Betelgeuse , another very large red giant in the upper left hand left...then finally Sirius....this video, at least to me, is the bomb...
Influences: ..... If your talking about bands, music , etc that are influences....Sex Pistols, Germs, Stranglers, The Damned, Metal Urbain, Wire, John Coltrane, James Brown, Charlie Parker, Al Green , Sun Ra, early Wayne Shorter...impressionist classical music like Maurice Ravel, Rolling Stones...Was extremely moved by the protopunk stuff of the 60ties like the Music Machine, Standells, Blues Magoos, Sonics, could go on forever....bla bla... The environment around me influences me as much as anything , I write and play how I feel , how I react to the world and world events, good or bad...very influenced by the Sci-Fi writer Phillip K Dick. {certainly not alone on that one} Have my own indigenous brand of spirituality, I have found god on my own terms....this, too, very much influences me...{Notice I didn't say Christian...or anything else, but if someone wants to be one , or anything else...no problem with me} Humor influences me....It would be a huge lie if I said that women don't influence me.....My neighbors, indirectly , from afar , have been a huge influence....I am more then happy to address my , shall we say, weaknesses......I am a very informed person...way to informed for my own personal mental well being......In short, more then anything, the human experience influences me...just like anyone else...... My favorite films are Japanese or other foreign film.... as well American {or arguably other} films like Hud, The Pianist, Chinatown, L.A. Confidential, The Sand Pebbles...Hitchcock....Noir....1950ties psi-fi movies......soft black and white....The obvious ones like Pulp Fiction........ TV ? Huh ? Go look at AK's web site for that one.....my TV watching is usually confined to TCM , The History Channel, IFC, PBS , and the news propaganda...Alright already, it is obvious I enjoy "24" {but too many fucking commercials} and the "Sopranos" , due to negligence on my part, I didn't get into the other original programs on HBO, I have no doubt, however, I would enjoy them...Oh, I did check out the one , can't remember the name, about the guy that had 3 wives....was completely underwhelmed.... Just read a killer {in every sense of the word }book about the Black Dahlia, "Severed" the one by John Gilmore......The movie that recently came out about the Black Dahlia was a absolute piece of shit , HOWEVER, saw "Uli Ellman's {I think} Black Dahlia" and it makes the other piece of shit film look like a sparkling diamond. So bad, so cheesy, that it might...might...work as a comedy...I bet it cost less to make then "Multiple Maniacs" by John Waters.... but yeah, very , very much interested in that and early L.A. history in general.....History , in all aspects , is my thing....I like to push my mind as much as possible....the Desert and the stars are my temple..{Sirius is my , everything}..I believe that time is not necessarily linear, I believe in the eternal now , was, has been , always will be , is.....And yeah, big time, I believe in parallel worlds..I openly question the big bang ...I think that the moon DID NOT originate from the earth and I think humans actually started here, in North America, we just haven't dug deep enough yet......I also firmly believe that no one, especially myself, has all, or even most , of the answers..and this is very liberating....will ramble on more later....D
WW2 DOGFIGHTS, P38 LIGHTNING VS ME 109
Douglas DC-8 Almost Crashes During Landing
Sounds Like: People always say Zappa, which is very strange considering I never was a huge fan, don't dislike him or anything, just don't have and never have had a lot of his records to be "influenced" by and besides..what I have heard , he could play better guitar then me by light years even from beyond the grave ..god rest his soul..I still don't get the comparison but whatever....just trying very hard to be me. Punk/Jazz/Soul/Classical/Rock/Psychedilic/Trance/Hypnotic/En
viornment/Just plain noise influenced....love the term "No Wave" although a certain anal assed {redundant} "Purest" I know {who always checks with the books first} would disagree....wink wink...which reminds me !! In San Diego, support Pirate Radio 96.9 or listen on the web, http://www.pirate969.org/ the best radio station ever..... Sure looks like a sea serpant to me, as it would have anyone....wonder how big the biggest of the big is ?
