photography. indierock. homemade fresh pico de gallo (email me for the recipe). puerco pibil. hanging out in LA with old seattle friends. hanging out with seattle friends from NYC. flying on planes to a destination where I might bust out the camera and take care of business. making out on a friday night in a bathroom at a rockin' house party... going to shows and NOT shooting photos. maybe i'll film it instead.
Festivals: CMJ, SXSW, Sasquatch, Lollapalooza, Coachella, Reading, Leeds, Glastonbury. You get the idea...
on my itunes as of late: Can't wait for the new Radiohead. Still listening to newish BRMC. New Brian Jonestown is weird but pretty awesome. Cronk got me into Against Me. Saw Art Brut and now I totally like them....Perfect for autumn: Shins, Stills, Ben Folds...
ATTN BANDS AND SOLO ARTISTS THAT WANT TO ADD ME: Sending a kind word and a link to your stuff before just adding me is usually the best approach. I'm into all sorts of music but say if your band is really into Limp Bizkit, Staind, Creed or Sublime you found the wrong dude to just click on. Oh and I can't stand horrid metal bands. It's gotta be good metal like Queens of The Stone Age. Know what I'm saying? Dig.
I'd like to meet:
good new people.
