My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 8/9/2005
Band Website: www.myspace-thediary.com
Band Members:Hello, my name is Claude, and I am The Diary. I live in a world of my own making. Reality is that which we create. That is as long as there's good people, music you can dance to, a cup of really good coffee, surrealist art on the walls, and ideas flowing in your head. This is about you, too. I can't exist without you.As you can see from the truly diverse people on this site, this music is for you, the real you, not just the JetSet, the Glamourous, the Beautiful, the Punk, the New Wave, although you are all welcome too.The Diary is an open book. Our book. Speaking of books, I'm currently in a Clive Barker phase... :)Want to join my group? Just click here! Post your every thought, dream, rant, whatever you want. There's something here for you...If you want to send me a message, I usually respond within a day or so. I love getting them, so do it.
Influences:The true influence of The Diary is life itself, followed by love and the "human condition". But Claude says...These are the bands and artists which have shaped and guided me:The Beatles - Is there a cooler band in the world?
Joy Division - Their sadness always soothes me.
New Order - Their mood is meloncholy.
The Kinks - Make me hot.
David Bowie - A Genius.
Kraftwerk - It's more fun to compute.
Buzzcocks - Great Songs, great energy.
Nirvana - What can I say?
Anything Box - I love my bandmates.
Radiohead - Correlation does seem odd.
Beastie Boys - The best Hip Hop
And most recently in my CD Player you will find...Ladytron - Sexy
The Strokes - They represent the NYC.
The White Stripes - Raw, dirty, wonderful.
Starlight Mints - Best seen live.

Sounds Like:The album "Separate" is a time machine that goes to New York, circa 1978, makes a stop at New Order's studio in Manchester (1983), then zooms way into the future (2013), where old buildings rise above the tops of trees and good tunes still fill the air with rebellion and passion, while the girls walk on the computer generated beaches. Sexy. Raw. Energy. Robots. Epunk.Why read about it? Listen to it for FREE...LISTEN NOW.Sigh.Sounds like Anything Box meets Buzzcocks meets The Beatles meets Joy Division meets New Order without a trace of The Killers. The Kinks maybe.

My Blog

The War is not a movie. Stop watching Fox. Do something.

I have written this post as a not-so-gentle reminder to myself and others that the War we are fighting in Iraq is NOT entertainment. Nor should it be seen merely as fodder for right wing or left wing ...

Tonight I'm taking a break, sort of. For the last two days I've been working on restoring old Abox videos. The 45 video is one of my favorites, having been shot in the dessert with a full crew, 35mm f...
