About Me

Hi. My name is Dain. I'm good at what I do.
Now what was it that I do?
Hmmmmmmm.
No matter, I'm sure I do it very well.
From being a shithead to a caring soul, there's a Dain for all occasions.
I spend my time wandering the streets of Chico, CA.
I've lived here since 1998.
If it was illegal, fun, loud, on fire, drinkable, edible, smokable, snortable, or involved jail, guns, trash cans, potatoes, tickets, fines or the police in any way... chances are I was there.
I enjoy the ridiculous nature of things.
I enjoy the balancing act between creativity and insanity.
I work for the Synthesis Network/Synthesis Magazine.
Im a 'Stuff-Doer'.
Design, coffee making, workplace beautification, audio production, confusing matters more than necessary...
Check it out here .
I also do 'stuff' for 107.9 The Point. All the hot jamz 10am-3pm.
Send me a request!
Still slangin' the axe for Socially Pink. I'm also pretending to be Johnny Ramone in PINHEAD - A Ramones Coverband.

My Interests

All things Spicy, Dirty, Sharp, Shiny, Noisy or Flammable.

SYNTHESIS RADIO ON iTUNES CLICK IT!

Synthesisradio.net

I'd like to meet:

If you're a band that came to me through the Synthesis page, don't be all pissy if I don't accept your friend request. I'm kinda a dick about that. Sorry.

Heres some of my associates...

Music:

Whistle while you lurk

I like the sound of a fork in my garbage disposal. It's all music to me.

Im the crackhead guitarist in a real obnoxious band in Chico - Socially Pink.

Now, a small list of songs and or artists that either make me throw up in my mouth, or should be in a fiery bus crash immediately:

Celiene Dion, Creed, Nickelback, Toby Keith, and Godsmack
'Old Time Rock & Roll' by Bob Seger - If you think this song 'rocks' or is in any way cool, please don't talk to me.

Any song that 'packs a chainsaw'

Movies:

Oh hell. Um indie junk, foreign junk, bad comedies, classic pieces, short film, artsy things - over-the-top blow shit up films, never was a fan of the romantic comedy. I like lowbrow, deviant things. I like porn. Gangster films, Noir, Musicals, I like Casablanca and Dude Wheres My Car. I like Goodfellas and Happy Gilmore -- chances are - I'll like it.
I'm down with films.

Television:

ATHF; Adult Swim Cartoons; Daily Show; Colbert Report; MXC; Conan; Antiques Roadshow; Inside the Actors Studio; Northern Exposure; Twin Peaks; Simpsons; Beavis and Butthead; The Weather Channel; anything on History Channel Food Network, or Discovery; Those pop culture shows on VH1; anything on Bravo, IFC, TCM -- oh wait, I want to be cool and say I hate televison.

Books:

I'm a big fan of the phone book.

Heroes:
