music, photography and danger. (Not necessarily in that order.) Sometimes I'm interested in musically endangering my photography. I have been known to become dangerously close to photographing my music. Don't forget that even the best of us will photographically capture music that is dangerous. I'm serious here folks. That's all i do. oh, i fancy to write a tad too. Sometimes I even breathe, blink, eat food and masturbate. (The latter being the most fun.) i am interested in bathing, but not bathing suits. I am interested in cooking, but don't cook anything interesting. i am interested in you, but not you alone. I've been known to take long trips without leaving my house, those are fun. Good times. (Jimmy Walker used to say Dynomite!)
I'd like to meet:
I met her and we got married, then divorced, then i met her and almost got married and then she left, then I met someone else and then the one who left came back so I had to ask the newest one to leave. She'll probably just leave again. But, i'll give it a whirl. Anyone who likes Caribbean music should be a friend of mine. Actually, anyone who likes music will do. I want to meet a flying nun also. And a Goonie. I already met Frodo, so that is covered. I have not met any other hobbits though. So, if any one knows Sean Astin I could kill two dreams with one Truffle Shuffle. (If yuhkgnawahhdameen) i'd like to meet Karl Malone. Anyone nicknamed the Mail Man has to be cool. I wanted to meet Muggsy Spanier but he died. A dude named Muggsy? hello? That effin rules. I want to meet a horse whisperer because I am abnormally audially sensitive when near equiine beasts. I want to meet a loan shark because I hear those guys have some snazzy suits and wicked nifty shoes. plus, i could score some bank. i want to meet an Elvis impersonator who is of African descent or Asian. I mean, that HAS to be difficult to pull off. I'd like to meet the man who invented Spandex and shake his hand. I would enjoy being introduced to Mr T because that guy has game. can you even imagine the chicks that dude must get? I want to meet Lauren Hutton because every time I mention E.F. Hutton, everybody stops and stares at me with their hands cupping their ears. (I want anyone who gets that one to e-mail me.) I would love to meet Halle Berry, because ,wait, did someone mention Halle Berry? I want to meet Fred Savage, but only if I can meet him and "Columbo" at the same time. And they have to call me "Westley". i want to meet a Toucan that really can talk. (That Froot Loops fukker is just a cartoon!) I want to meet someone who can orally gratify themselves (male or female) just so I can punch their nose in, since that act is so wrong i can't even possibly begin to describe all the abnormalities contained within. (But only after I watch for a minute.) I want to meet a ballerina, because, damn, look at that flexibility. I want to meet an inventor so maybe he could help me with some of my ideas instead of stealing them, like my ex-friend Al Gore who stole my internet idea. Asshole....yeah Gore in '08 my ass. I want to meet a Pitbull in California that hasn't been ostracized. I'd like to meet Norah Jones so i can yell at her for not using her real last name of Shankar. I would like to meet Annie Lennox and ask her if sweet dreams really are made of this. I want to meet the King & I. And Yul Brenner. I want to meet Wynona Ryder and Donkey Punch her in the back of her limousine. I want to meet the veterinarian who treated the bird who broke Fabio's nose in that disastrous water park accident years ago. I want to meet people other than Matty T and S'Mank who understand my humour and the way my depraved mind works. I want to meet an angel who drinks Red Bull. I want to meet a record collector who isn't a total dork like me. I want to be introduced to the "Big 5" record company executives and ask them why the need to charge $16 for a CD when it costs less than a quarter to produce each one. Then I'd want to meet my brain again for asking such an obvious question. I'd like to meet someone who doesn't smoke weed, hasn't smoked weed in the past or doesn't know someone who does. I mean, really. I'd like to meet the legislation in Amsterdam who legalized it and suggest they do it everywhere. I want to meet Horace Andy because his voice is ridiculous, Mr. Sleepy. I want to meet a guy who quickly found a job in the same field after his company went out of business and moved to China. I want to meet someone who actually is satisfied with their cell phone. I want to meet the dude who invented the 10-pack of hotdogs and the 8-pack of hotdog buns! Brilliant consumerism! I would really love to meet someone aside from Elton John that can put "spelunker" on a job application. I want to meet a game-show host and tell him what he has won for having me on board. I'd like to meet a seal who can perform like the ones at Sea World because seals are cool. and then I'd tell him this joke: Two baby seals walk into a club....get it? I want to meet a Xerox salesman because that has got to be a job that is hard to copy. I want to meet a computer hardware salesman because I'm a chip off the ol' block. I want to meet a professional pool player because I know I can never fit my balls in my pockets. I want to meet Tom Anderson from MySpace and ask him why I am so angry since joining his "cult". I'd also tell Tom his name is nearly as generic as John Smith. (Whom, coincidentally i have met- has a sister named Tammy from Covington, Virginia) I want to meet a vacuum cleaner salesman, in fact, a Kirby salesman because I want to see how much he sucks. I would love to meet a woman who owns an aviary so I can talk about her bird's breasts. I want to meet a beer brewer so i can taste his hops. I want to meet the Patriots so I can introduce my friend Bibster to their tight ends and wide receivers. I want to meet a guy who can eat a bowlful of jelly in one sitting. I'd be happy to be introduced to Pauly Shore just because, well, frankly...he is the Weeze. I want to meet Kylie Minogue because I just can't get her out of my head. I want to meet myself in ten years and punch myself in the gut for writing all this crap that just completely bored you.
Music:
All forms of Caribbean music or Caribbean-influenced music:
I love traditional ska from all three waves and even some of the ska-punk shit that's out there. The Toasters are my favorite ska band of all-time. I also am very fond of Skatalites, Laurel Aitken, ANY of the Blue Beat label artistes, as well as more recent guys like Pietasters, Allstonians (RIP), Scofflaws (RIP), Slackers, Aggrolites, Firebug, Debonaires, NYSJE, Rotterdam Ska Jazz and many, many more.
Reggae is my first true love though. Mostly love dub, then roots, then early dance hall and some of the later dancehall too. Caught the bug in 1988 and have never looked back. The artists are too numerous to mention so I'll just mention recent reggae shows I've seen: John Brown's Body, Barrington Levy, Morgan Heritage and hopefully more soon!I've been spinning reggae as a radio DJ and as a club performer since 1997. (Hard to get gigs in Maine for reggae DJ's.)
I also spin a lot of Soca and calypso. Recently getting into reggaeton too (which is basically latin dancehall.) Anything I play is with the goal in mind to get dem ladies dem to wine up dey waists!
Latin music has entered my veins recently too. Wow! Especially salsa. On a recent trip to Mexico we saw salsa bands from Cuba and Dominican republic. man were they amazing! Big sound, great singing!!
I love latin hip-hop too: Molotov, Control Machete, Akwid, etc. etc. I don't stop there, i enjoy other hip-hop: Talib, Mos, J5, Tribe, Atmosphere, etc. etc. I don't like rap though, most of it is all the same crap about getting rich, fukking da hoes and dying young. BRILLIANT!
I have a soft-spot for classic rock'n'roll too. Led Zep being at the top, Floyd, Doors, Grateful Dead, Dylan, Buffett, Steely Dan, etc. etc.
Artists I have been listening too recently and LOVE: (updated January 17th, 2008) that I am loving: Gogol Bordello, Balkan Beat Box, Scotch Greens, Frantic Flintstones, The Blakes, Cat Empire, Ticklah, Budos Band, Amsterdam Klezmer Band, Steve earle, Up Bustle & out, Gov't Mule, Michael Franti, Larkin Brigade, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Charanga Cakewalk, Betty Davis, and since I bought Charlie Oldham's collection of music (and kept a lot for myself) I have been discovering a whole world of early soul, R&B, Blues and tons of early rockabilly that I had never heard. Thanks Chas-O! (RIP, wherever you are, mate.)
MUSIC IS KING!
