About Me

This profile is rarely updated. Please check kylebabson.comA keynote in literature, music or public speaking is the principal underlying theme of a larger idea — a literary story, an individual musical piece or event.....We re-join our hero soon after graduating from THE University of Kansas and facing nearly simultaneous lay offs from a major record label and "the world's largest live music company."Staring into the face of certain demise, keynotespeaker managed to seek out one of the few music companies actually turning a profit, and secure gainful employment in Charlottesville, Virginia. keynotespeaker now mans his post at MusicToday while ensuring that his artists' tours sell tickets and are properly marketed.An interesting chap, keynotespeaker enjoys married life with his wife Kaarin, drinking pomegrante juice, and keeping his true identity under wraps."I was a Business Marketing major, but if I had to do it over again I would probably be an English major.... Obviously if you're an English major you learn to write well which is important..." -- Rob Stevenson Vice President of A&R -- Island Records
"Basically when offering advice to those wanting to make it in the music industry I give fairly simple advice. Sellout and write catchy tunes, it's all for the money and chicks." - Phil Collins

My Interests

Rock & Roll Technology

I'd like to meet:

PUT YOUR I'D LIKE TO MEET SECTION HERE! Changes may take up to 2 mins to show on your profileView All Friends | View Blog | Add Comment

Music:

My ipod is full, and I'm too lazy to change it. I have thousands of silver shiny discs that I never listen to or look at. I hate listening to music on the radio, I just listen to sports talk. The past few albums I've been excited about have let me down. When I hear incredible music, when it really blows me away, I can't help but laugh.Favorites:Coheed and Cambria Motion City Soundtrack Anberlin Jimmy Eat World John Mayer Aqualung Jay-Z Mos Def Kanye West Sublime Talib Kweli Ryan Adams Thelonious Monk Dave Brubeck Underoath Rage Against The Machine Blink 182 Musiq Jim Croce AC/DC

Movies:

I usually fall asleep watching movies. Also, I don't like the commitment it takes to watch a movie. I'd rather watch a 30 min sitcom; at least I know what I'm getting.V for Vendetta Life is Beautiful The Big Lebowski Stranger Than Fiction American Beauty Derailed

Television:

This is more my speed. I love watching entire seasons of shows in one sitting. When I do that, I have the option to stop every 26 minutes or so. I check these seasons out at the library or watch online.Curb Your Enthusiasm Entourage Arrested Development Weeds The Office South Park How I Met Your Mother

Books:

Currently Reading: The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins Hocus Pocus by Kurt VonnegutMagazines Fast Company Alternative Press Spin Rolling Stone MoneyFavorite Author Kurt Vonnegut

Heroes:

For the most part, people are people. But I digress...Claudio Sanchez, Russel Simmons, Jesus Christ, Pastor Paul Parsons
