My interests go/are going through as of late, a flux as it were. I'm currently producing and writing songs, to eventually release as soon as I can on my label Ruby Red District. I'm a photographic guinea-pig on-and-off, and the occasional fashion runway rack too. Given up on improving the slipped-ass clubbing in T.O. (Lord... you people need to clue-in) but my spinning repertoire is what some might consider at the advanced (mature) end. Dancing for me is ALWAYS important. It's my most personal attribute and whenever I can do it, I do it for MYSELF! Trying to eventually do more graphic designing; I don't have the kind of time to do any illustrations of the pen & ink variety anymore (which pisses me off, now and then). Post-modern/avant dance companies - though I haven't recently seen anything of REAL value pass through for a while. Japanese punk & metal culture is a big thing for me. I've been a more-than-casual observer of the action that goes down across there for most of my musical/cultural life. Tattoos, of which I have 9 so far, but I ain't done! No sir - A long time wish is to get one from a master of irezumi! Metal, punk/cyberpunk/anime fashion dabbling (ie. crossdressing for Fetish Nights or for performances; if I feel like it also). Maybe high heels?... I dunno; I've got about 7 pairs of heels and one thigh high PVC boot pair. Yeah I guess I DO like cool women's shoes! Sci-fi - hmmmmm... what else? HEAVY METAL - anything affiliated with it; I've grown up to that damn warping magazine and it's movies too (and obviously music)! Alternative art birthed by the like of Trevor Brown, Kozik, Olivia, Joachim Luetke, Simon Bisley, Pushead... JEEZ enough; and that's just current interests... I've STILL always feared Giger being my secret godfather (eep!)
See that banner above? It's for the bomb-ass label Reduced Phat, hailing outta South Florida who have aa killer roster of the best in ultra-hyper beats, breaks and D&B on LSD! Click on it to check it out, or go here for the MySpace... DO IT, NOW!! ha ha...
I'd like to meet:
... a lot of more genuine human beings PLEASE! I love the true friends that I have here in T.O. that's for sure, but I have other shores in mind. Anyway, as music and travel seem to be my only real goals for the near future, there will be enough friends to visit spread out quite globally. I'll be able to decide where the 'next' long term is to be.
... And SERIOUSLY don't just be lookin' to use up my damn comment area like some billboard without so much as a "Gee, you're nice" or "What's up?" I allow HTML as courtesy and will delete your shit if it bores (I'll still love y'all, I'll just be striking your damn ads!). Art, cool photos, yeah... but some long ass media file? Get a grip folks ha ha, and act smart! It's all fine until one kid forgets to play nice, then screws it up for LOADS of people. Plus PEOPLE WITH NO PROFILE INFO ARE ANNOYING! Unless you 'think' that you're one of those individuals who 'might' have a chance... it's yours to take. My wish list? H.R. Giger; John Zorn; Joss Whedon and Steve Harris; Amy Acker and Melinda Clarke (RAARRWW!)
... so where are you strange(ly) happy people?

...and now the segment of elites (at least to MY page...) lovingly entitled 'The Loved and Bannered':
These fine gents are HYMN FOR THE TORTURED. Not only do I admire the fact that they're sooo tight and grindy in a raw early COF way (that's Cradle Of Filth, to you...), but this young gents club from Guam kick ass with each new track! If they truly can stick it out - and TRUST ME, I've lived way long enough to see it happen and know - they could really be something special.
These guys are a very cool electronic outfit that has a new release out now called 'Black Box' My humble advice is that you at least check Nude out at their page; they have a lot to offer in the next while
..."Hey Ruby, who's your favorite band?" That question asked to me time and again, so check the picture link above. I give ya the more mutated, futuristic, quasi-grind of thee almighty AGORAPHOBIC NOSEBLEED! Almost everyone looks lost when I say their name ^_^ I mean just listening to this band alone feels like a personal assault; this lone axe, drum-machined, tri-screamer outfit is simply sheer nihilistic abandon on a bad drug trip - I LOVE 'EM!!! Look for their stuff at their current label: Relapse Records . Check out Scott's other band Pig Destroyer while you're there. G'wan... click and hear 'em out!
And now, justa couple o' tracks from moi as well, enjoy...
