About Me

I am, quite possibly, the best radio show to ever exist. I air Monday and Wednesday mornings on KRUX 91.5 FM, Las Cruces, from 8-10 Mountain Time, but you can listen to us wherever you are so long as you have access to a computer. Go to www.kruxradio.com and you can listen to Tommy and Handsome Dan, two undeniably brilliant masters of their art form, namely using other people's music to make themselves famous. They happen to have some rather amusing and very stupid banter when not playing music, which isn't that often. Listen, and be rocked.

My Interests

Playing music, listening to music, talking about music, analyzing the content of music, thinking about music, singing along to music, dancing along to music, and watching the X-Files.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who likes good, old-fashioned rock and roll in long sets and doesn't mind some dumb, self-serving banter as a side dish.
