I can imagine music without religion, but I can't imagine religion without music

About Me

Hey! Music is a love and a lifestyle for me. I've been in bands since 1989 and have been DJing since 1998 (I've been collecting records all of my life, though!) I DJ and help promote a couple of clubs in the SoCal area: The Good Foot @ Que Sera in Long Beach every 2nd Friday of the month and Space Rollerdisco @ World On Wheels in L.A. every 4th Saturday of the month. I also play bass in a couple of bands: BlowUpBlow and Free Moral Agents . I love: my family, my friends, music (spinning it, playing it, listening to it, and talking about it), laughter, strange movies, good food, art (particularily Hieronymous Bosch, Andy Warhol, Barbara Kruger, Keith Haring, Robert Williams, Gustav Klimt, funny drawings made by kids, and any good graphitti), and traveling (the little of it I actually get to do!) .........................................Note to bands: I have put a block on bands making friend requests. Please send me an email first. Thanks.

My Interests

music, records, art, DJing, playing bass, reading, good food (especially Japanese, Mexican, Thai, Indian and Persian foods)

I'd like to meet:

You.
