About Me

javadread's a poet. so he's got the typical poetlife history: loved reading all his life, feels more confortable with a pen in his hand than doing (almost) anything else; went thru the angst and suffering poets and novelists have molded into a separate art . . . he's looking for open minds. free thinkers. musicians. poets. painters. dancers. fire-breathers. jugglers. runners. laughers. lovers. hawks. doves. saints. sinners. pagans. power brokers. activists. actors. filmmakers. writers. teachers. guides. students. vagabonds. purveyors of vice. telekinetics. urban elves. earth spirits. gentle souls. aliens. angels. devils. god. you. yeah. probably you. what else do you wanna know? and oh yeah - I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 13/11/2006
Band Members: javadread, pretty much. otherwise, it'd be javadread & co. or something. the dreadettes?
Influences: off top, nikki giovanni. y'all need to quit sleeping on the Goddess. ee cummings; amiri baraka; carl sandburg . . . and about a thousand others. but those are the ones i need you to know about today.
Sounds Like: 1. dinosaurs beatboxing as the Chicxulub impact event seals their doom and mammals get ready to come up in the aftermath. 2. like the first robot GM used to paint a car part being crushed into scrap when a faster one makes it obsolete, stealing the job it stole from a human. 3. the songs stars sing to each other when solar flares get too frequent and supernovas are a little too likely. 4. like any other vernacunappy, vocabulhappy, spoken soul spirit worldwide word wanderer, weaving "what?" into "whoa."Can you dig it?
Record Label: Unsigned
