About Me

Born in Seattle. Moved to Marin in ’67 and then onto Mexico in ’69. Six years traveling, mainly in Oaxaca and Chiapas – intermittent public school and lots of hanging out with boleadores and Chicklet vendors on the streets. Took a pass on sniffing glue, but hung with those kids, too. Lost my virginity to an Acapulco streetwalker at 12...Back to the States in '75 for an aborted education, bouncing around the West and ending up in SF in '76.Gave up school altogether when Punk Rock came along. Played drums (Offs, Feederz, Fast Floyd, Jah Hovah, Swinginin' Possums, a one night stand with The Stirrups, and other bands too numerous to list). Finally picked up the dope habit I had been working up to for all those years and dropped out to be a full-time recluse/model/scumbag.Moved to Phoenix in '93 and gave up the dope habit and the wife (she's happier now), moved to upstate NY in 2000 for a relationship that fell apart almost immediately (that's the last time I cross the country for S&M!) and stuck around Syracuse for a few years soaking up the scenic beauty.I’m back in the Bay Area and it feels like home.These days I make hard drive music ( *My Music Page* ) and enjoy eating with my friends.

My Interests

Olson on MySpace:

MisterDaddySir
Dark industrial dance dub... Healing, or at least therapeutic. MisterDaddySir is the originator of the cruelsweet smile. And the mai tai.

CruelSweet
The 'label' page. All this and more! New pieces are rotated regularly.

L'Égrégore
Dedicated to the mysteries of poetry, absinthe and drum'n'bass. Reinventing golden age decadence and debauch, one dram at a time... Meditation music for a season in Hell.

C. Olson C.
Melodramatic pop songs in English and Spanish with a new wave bossa nova feel... and a bit of a nouvelle vague twist.

CrazyOldMan
The 'sketch pad' page where stuff gets posted to try out, or fileshare, or... This one is updated constantly.

I walked on the beach...

...it was a very long beach. I walked for miles and the dunes hemmed me in against the wild sea. My mind was troubled when I had felt compelled to pull off the highway and start this walk, but my mind...
