About Me

Wow! There have been a profundity of major successes, around town. And what's more at different venues and styles of event. Here's a basic breakdown of the shows that SHANE & I do around HonoluluTUESDAYS WEEKLY: KALIEDESCOPE @ Next Door- A rock and roll show featuring Hawaii's best and brightest bands, arbitrated by DJ's like myself and DJ Vagina. (who is not me but Shane/ so no more alter ego questions) click Kaliedescope in my top friends to see who is playing this week.SATURDAYS WEEKLY: The A-LIST @ BAR35 My weekly party with Davey Shindig who does the friday afternoon show at KTUH. We do a sort of upscale lush sexy-cool indie/80's/Euro set. It's fun to play to a crowd thats not necessarily the smae indie kids i've grown up playing for. A challenge and a prosthelytizing opportunity I relish. And saeurkraut. ;)FRIDAYS VARIOUSLY- THE ENTERPRISE PARTIES. both Enterprise and Frequency at Soundhouse and ThirtyNineHotel respectively. Danceapaloozas. Plenty of fun------ !!lookee here!!AND OF COURSE YOU CAN LISTEN TO MY RADIOSHOW: ROSS JACKSON'S DAYDREAM NATION @ KTUH FM HONOLULU ON WEDNESDAYS NOON TO THREE (HST) 90.3 FM in town, 89.9 on the North Shore.or all over the world at WWW.KTUH.ORGBeing as these are after all the times when the only people admitted to be serious are fools and bespeckled morons, I am without irony of a deeply trifling and immaterial sort. Ouais?

My Interests

Meh, enough faux pithy irony. I'm over it. Really the only the thing I'm interested in meting out a life worth living out here until I take off.

I'd like to meet:

Well just about anybody who hasn't given up on things so much that they still come out meet people do good work and come out to shows, even if things aren't quite ideal.
I'd like to see a lot more fire under everybody's ass around here. Malaise is a unfortunate habit that could do with a rockette sized kickin' around these parts.
Also for the love of christ someone who can give me a run for my money in wrestling. Fucking ages.
OOOH OOH! Someone who can talk about books or movies without that condescending one-upsmanship crap. That'd be nice

Music:

I have a pretty long and pretentious list of bands I listen to and music I like. MORE APPROPRIATELY, you can just listen to my show...http://ktuh.org/schedule.php?Thursday

Movies:

Mostly of the international artsy sort. Also got a protracted interest in cult - exploitation and B grade horror. You know, just so I don't take myself too seriously.

Books:

Bukowski, Jean Genet, Philip K Dick, Raymond Chandler, Tom Robbins, William Blake, David Berman, Oscar Wilde. Fade, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, Jean Cocteau. meh, I'm reasonably literate.

Heroes:

Three months he regaled me of his body. Beating me for all he was worth. I dragged at his feet, more trampled on than a dust mop. Ever since he has gone free of his robberies, I keep remembering his gestures, so vivid they revealed him as cut out of a faceted crystal, gestures so vivid that you suspected they were all involuntary for it seems utterly impossible that they were born of ponderous reflection and decision.
