Texas TJ

i believe in honesty, i believe in you.

About Me

i'm an uncle and a big brother. i play the bass, i use to to play for the legendary group doom to bloom (the first line up). expect new music from me sometime soon, that's exciting. i have a couple of projects going including some solo stuff, which is going to be amazing, i hope. i have great friends. i'm a little bit country, and a little bit rock and roll (a little osmond reference for you, even though I don't think donnie was at all rock and roll). i'm a proud Texan, you could probable even get away with calling me a redneck. I love the country, even though right now I'm stuck in the city. i like muddin' and shootin' guns. i get bored real quick which sometimes gets me in trouble. i want to learn how to speak gaelic (we'll see if I ever do). i'm the worlds greatest backwards driver. i believe that
G-d is love.

Music:

bands so obscure you've never heard of them, and the rob clark band. seriously though I'm way to much of a music snob to answer this question. i also believe that the music industry has gotten extremely stale in the last few years. i will say however that I'm into experimental rock, indie(what does that mean anymore?),ambient, honky tonk (not pop country), Texas rock, outlaw country, metal-core, celtic rock/punk, southern rock, weird-core(made that up),tradition punk and hardcore (hXc), bla,bla,bla. anything with a lot of theory and/or passion (although passion doesn't make up for talent). i love music that's true to the idea of music being art.Check out all my friends and former band mates bands: Hollywood Black (Jon),Rob Clark's solo stuff at myspace.com/thetransitelect, and Braden's project at the papertown paperchase.
