About Me

my name is larry davis or lazd (my initials, pronounced informally as lay-z-d). i'm 21 and live in Chico, CA where i am studying computer science at CSU Chico. i am a self employed internet developer (HTML, graphics, Javascript, PHP, MySQL), a musician, photographer, and a lover of life. i enjoy playing guitar and bass, mountain biking, and generally relaxing. i play mostly spanish & flamenco, blues, funk, jazz, rock & roll on guitar, but i love all kinds of (mostly) non-contemporary music and have been known to lay down some upright bass to the tune of some country blues, bluegrass, and folk or bust out the jazz bass and do everything from shred metal to slap out some funky shit, depending on the company. a few of my favorite things are traveling, being in the sun, dark beers, anything made with jalapeños, fine buds, and the beauty of logic. for contact information and more about my web development services, visit www.lazd.net

lazd.net pirate radio is a LIVE stream, occasionally accompanied by LIVE music, that can be listened to over ANY connection and will probably BLOW YOUR FUCKING MIND or at least make you want to smoke two joints - and we'll smoke the roaches, free of charge!

so what the fuck are you waiting for?
we be jammin', and you be missin' out.


if it says online above, lazd.net pirate radio is sailing the stormy interwaves RIGHT NOW!

due to the implications of being a pirate radio station (sailing the seven seas, plundering b00ty, training army of attack parrots), we can't always be around, so get it while it's hot and click here tell your senators and representatives to co-sponsor the Internet Radio Equality Act to keep it hot!

Music:

reggae, classic rock, electronica/drum & bass, atmosphere, underground rap, jazz, and classical. more specifically, led zeppelin, the rolling stones, the traveling wilburys, bob marley, a tribe called quest, j. s. bach, sublime, beck, beatles, steely dan, old school dr. dre & snoop dogg, pink floyd, crystal method, cream, andre nickatina, smoov-e, beastie boys, del the funky homosapien, dj food, dj hype, dick dale, dave matthews, atmosphere (eyedea & abilities), aphex twin, howlin' wolf, janis joplin, jimi hendrix, wise monkey orchestra, eek-a-mouse, victor wooten, van morrison, too short, tom petty, twista, johnny winter, stevie ray vaughn, joe satriani, steve miller, santana, the grateful dead, the expendables, capone-n-noreaga, matisyahu, the doors, nightmares on wax, kruder & dorfmeister, mystic roots, mr. ozio, w. a. mozart, chemical brothers. anything that gets the fuck down, is meaningful, funky, groovy, kick back, beautiful, or thought provoking. i sharply despise commercially produced music these days and most of my taste lies in older music.

Movies:

i don't watch movies often, but my favorites are probably caddy shack, cheech and chong's next movie, the beatles yellow submarine, dr. strangelove (or how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb), strange brew.

Television:

i hate televison. i'll watch quality video content minus the commercials, but you won't catch me in front of a cathode ray tube.

Books:

i don't often read books for recreation these days. despite the fact that i'm in no place in life to be reading anything but a physics textbook, i respect and love literature but prefer it in the digital form (hug the trees, save the knowledge [and be sure to keep a backup]). the best book i've ever read was george orwell's 1984.

Heroes:

francisco tarrega, jimi hendrix, linus torvalds, sean d. tucker, lefty gardener, my father, my mother. and i shouldn't forget - the paramedics who saved my ass.
