Art and love
I'd love to talk to anyone into those names and their work. I Love to play music and do shows, especially improv !! Drawing and painting safaris, museums, good shows .
My main outlet is live music. started playing hardcore after too many years in the neighborhood hanging around listening to Montrose and Thin Lizzy . Became a huge Germs, Discharge, Fall ,Birthday Party head. Like the Pop Group too...Teenage Head, Negative Trend , . Not into : The Pogues, Fugazi,John Spencer, Social Distortion or Jack and Meg .Best live gigs : Discharge,Tales of Terror, Black Flag w/ Dez, Beat Happening, The Verlaines,Capt. Sensible, Xiu Xiu,The Slits, Blast!, Paul Westerberg ,MBV w/SM3, Big Dipper,Grant McLennan & Robert Forster,Fall, Cheetah Chrome Mutherfuckers , Ariel Pink, Pharaoh Saunders, TVPs , AC/DC w/ B.Scott , Damned,Thin Lizzy,Cameo, Dog Faced Hermanns,Kozelek, DelFonics, The Times,Smiths, The Stranglers,Blue Magic, Field Mice , Epic Soundtracks, The Clash,Jacobites, Bacharach, Beach Boys ....ad infinitum.I love most early LA, SF and German ,Finnish, English punk.60s girl pop too. I really dug the Wolfhounds, The Close Lobsters, The Laughing Apple, and of course The Boy Hairdressers out of all that C86 era .Now I'm very much into performing improv theater and dada-prayer song wig - twiggery . To that I'd also add RIBZY and all the East Side Story comps plus a weird Beach Boys Today studio outtakes disc that Nikki turned me onto. Apparently this was once part of Epic's amazing collection ....
