An Army Of Dumb

About Me

I am a young man of English/Polish/Italian/Russian stock who loves to write music and ride in cars. I like waking up early when it feels good. I have lived in Atlanta for four years and am realizing that I work in a large box called an 'office building' in a densely clustered area of businessplaces called 'downtown.' LOL AND OATS.
I own 2.5 guitars. I also enjoy basking. I reach for grilled chicken before any other meat, unless it's all free.
I am the main culprit in a band called Dust Rabbit where I play everything on an entirely amateur level. Check it out!
I also record tiny bits of music, and post them under the sneaky pseudonym of What's On The Moon? , so feel free to listen and nitpick.
I currently play in a band called Cassavetes . Check that out, too.
Additionally, I was in a band for most of college called Rolling Buck 7 which is a nice listen. Alright.
I also want to be the first man to wear corduroy in space.

Guitars, basses, drums, pianos, amplifiers, electronic boxes that go 'neener neener', travel, good weather, shows, music-writin', music-recordin', music-listenin', the outdoors, the indoors, tasty morsels, clouds, the smell of gasoline, cereal, racquetball (when winning)

SXSW 2007

Melissa and I flew to Houston last week, rented a sweet-ass Taurus, and headed to the capitol of the largest of the lower fourty-eight. Yew guessed it. Honolulu. Wikipedia defines SXSW as an inte...

a tune or two

I record things at home, sometimes I consider them 'finished' and other times I file them in the 'I will do a better version of this in six years' folder. Here's one: http://www.dustrabbit.com/PIAW.mp...

Fall Into The Sea, Eventually

Just got back from vacation in the Outer Banks with my family, Nads Family Funtyme 2.0, as I call it. Glorious. I should theoretically have an issue with the abject clogging of tourists, tra...

Dinner Exchange

"Ham will make you queasy. Try the quail." The china was perfection. The music wept with life. Only the walls seemed out-of-place. They seemed to continually implode into themselves and...
