About Me


"In the beginning of a change, the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a Patriot." --Mark Twain

Currently producing full length album as The Realside
For those of you who can't take aliases, I'm Terry McClain, Scotch-Irish-Austrian descent, which means American.

Schooled in the homegrown music arts in Nashville, Smyrna/Murfreesboro, & Memphis Tennessee as well as New York where I currently reside.
Mainly perform/write with area bands Guiltless Cult as well as The Sense Offenders, The Crayons & Charmboy. I write a ton of music as The Realside.

My Interests

Songwriting, recording, movies, video games, hiking in the many local mountain ranges, repairing machinery, finding out the truth behind the media, world government and assorted conspiracies

I'd like to meet:

People who like to think for themselves. People unafraid to question what is going on around them and learn how to conquer fear.Look for the Real News Dot Com.

I like to listen to stuff too. Not enough time to list, but I bought the new Mastodon, Beck, Flaming Lips & An old Genesis w/Peter Gabriel (live 73 w/Lamb, etc) disc. Anything involving Frank Zappa, The Residents, Squarepusher, Mike Patton, NIN, Timbaland, Dr. Dre, Zeppelin, etc. I like the innovators. I listen to local radio, SIRIUS & Myspace to new bands. I wonder if anyone could ever listen to everything that's been recorded so far in a lifetime?!?! Latest cd's I bought: Tom Waits: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards; Timbaland: Under Construction II; The Good, The Bad, & The Queen; Luxury Flats; Deepak Chopra; Bad Brains: Black Dots; Estradasphere: Buck Fever; The Shins: Wincing the Night Away; John Vanderslice: Emerald City
I appreciate all the producers/songwriters out there making the records with the artists: Quincy Jones, Terry Date, Scott Solter, Jon Brion, Rick Rubin, Andy Wallace, Scott Booker, John Alagia, Michael Ross, Hugh Padgam, Matt Mahaffey, etc...

Haven't watched it in 6+ years, bunch of boredom. I do play video games occasionally on PC, though. BIOSHOCK was awesome.
