About Me

First and foremost, I like music. I go to lots of rock shows and other music-related activities. Though I don't have the skills to be considered a real DJ, I do play records in a club or two here in Columbus. I currently play funk records with FunkDefy : We are giving you a second appearance by The Dynamites featuring Charles Walker on Friday, May 9th and putting on a joint show with Columbus' Grits and Wet Darlings on Friday, June 13th. Both shows (and most everything we got cookin') will be at the Ravari Room . I write sporadically for notable Columbus-centric music website Donewaiting.com . I am back to writing a blog about music shit here when I feel like it. I have a day job as a Contracts/Financial Specialist, which is probably not your title. If you want more facts than this, I guess you'll have to ask.

My Interests

Music, remembering what my other interests are.

I'd like to meet:

Fellow Music Addicts. Especially those in Bustown, but all around the world as well. We probably have some tastes in common. And ladies are cool too.

Music:

Got tired of that ramshackle list, so how bout something even more inaccurate (but timelier?):

Movies:

Occasionally going to the theater, occasionally buying DVDs and never watching them, occasionally having to tell people that I could watch a must-see movie everyday and never catch up.

Television:

The Office, duh. Cavs playoff games?

Books:

Well, since I just returned from a flight, I can update this, because I only seem to read on flights. I just read Dork Whore by Iris Bahr, Quite Honestly by John Mortimer, and bit and pieces of various issues of Wax Poetics.

Heroes:

Daymon Dodson.
