Simply.....CHRIS!

.....a little slow, a little late.

About Me

Full time music publicist/part time music journalist. I also once saw a deer. I enjoy gawking at people with mullets, eating cans of Betty Crocker cake frosting for lunch on special occasions, being dissappointed each year when the XFL never returns, going to the mall every December and telling all the little kids that Santa Clause is really just some alcholic parolee in a fat suit, counseling rich kids with problems, writing out petitions to get ALF back on the air, placing racing forms and point spreads that read IT'S A LOCK on the windshields of people who are in Gamblers Anonymous meetings.

My Interests

Music,writing,writing about music, vinyl collecting,and breathing. breathing fire, freelance hypnotism, grifters, cultists, attending moonie weddings and pauly shore film festivals, corrupt union officials, polygamist chat rooms, squeezing cheese logs, hip hop from Uzbekistan, people who've batted a career .221 batting average in Busch league baseball, writing to Webster's making it so that one day team will be spelled with an "i", eating packets of powdered onion dip, filling up my TIVO with the View.

I'd like to meet:

Phillip Seyomur Hoffman and Christopher Walken. These two dudes have gotta be from another planet. People like me who wonder why Grape Nuts cereal contains no grapes nor any nuts. That dude who played Chunk in the Goonies. Did he ever get work after that? Somebody willing to go to an AA meeting and spike the coffee. People who can fit fruit in their navals and people who were born in bus stations. That dude who came up with the phrase "it's the thought that counts" becasue he's helped many folks save money when buying somebody a present.

Music:

I listen every genre known to man. I've seen it all! You name it I got it. I was into everything before anybody knew what it was or became cool. I'm an obsessive vinyl collector as well.

Movies:

French cinema. Fuck Hollywood and all of it's pretentious shit!!!

Television:

Just about any show on HBO. I don't care for network television in general. I don't care what other people watch but I hate Friends and I do make fun of people who watch it.

Books:

Ones with pages and words.

Heroes:

Johnny Cash, Nick Cave, Fela Kuti and the Clash.
